Interconnect solutions developer Molex Inc. has introduced the HSAutoLink II interconnect system for linking multiple high-speed media protocols in automotive electronics, including in-vehicle infotainment, telematic devices, radio and navigation systems, intelligent assistant systems and collision avoidance vision systems.
“Popular infotainment and safety features utilizing multiple cameras with high resolution imagery are dominating modern automotive electronics and driving up bandwidth,” Mike Gardner, global marketing manager of Molex, said. “The HSAutoLink II delivers superior reliability [and] speeds exceeding 2 Gbps data rates, [as well as] an innovative solution for managing multiple cable constructions meeting different media protocols.”
According to the company, the HSAutoLink II shielded connection system is “available initially in six or 12 circuits . . . [and] is compatible with shielded twisted-pair (STP) or jacketed unshielded twisted pair (JUTP) cabling.” In addition, the interconnect system’s “unique contact geometry design promotes high bandwidth performance with a nominal data-rate measured between 3 to 4 GHz in a differential signaling environment,” according to Molex. HSAutoLink II supports USB 2.0, USB 3.0, LVDS, Ethernet AVB (Audio Visual Bridging), modified HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort.
The waterproof version of the HSAutolink II connector system features “a fully protected harness and closed inner core shield case for superior EMI protection” and meets protection class IP69K.
