more connected than any point in history through intricate
communication networks that grant accessibility to information,
opportunities for shopping and entertainment and are now changing
the way many of us work.
When we think of automation and control that connectivity serves a
similar purpose. Cables and connectors, and increasingly wireless and
Bluetooth options, are essential components that carry the life blood of
machines, namely commands and data. But for machines it is not so
simple as picking up your phone and plugging in to the internet to do
your shopping or order your dinner. The rapid growth of the electrical
and automation sectors has created a demand for cables and
connectors that are specifically designed to meet the needs of
applications and technology types.

points of data and information, cables and connectors play a crucial role
