Rugged High-Speed Twisted-Pair Interconnects for Automotive & Industrial Data Systems
ATTEND, a leading provider of advanced connectivity solutions, introduces its HS-MTP and HSD high-speed twisted-pair connector and cable assembly series, delivering EMI-protected, automotive-grade differential transmission for next-generation vehicle and industrial applications. Engineered for harsh environments, both series ensure superior signal integrity, mechanical reliability, and space-efficient integration across automotive Ethernet, infotainment, and vision systems.
Traditional vehicle and industrial data networks often face signal degradation, limited bandwidth, and complex routing in compact modules. HS-MTP and HSD address these challenges with twisted-pair differential designs that minimize crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. HS-MTP supports frequencies up to 20 GHz, covering 1000BASE-T1 to 10GBASE-T1 automotive Ethernet with modular, STP/UTP-compatible flexibility; HSD provides 100 Ω fully shielded differential connectivity for LVDS, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, and Ethernet, delivering stable high-speed transmission under vibration and thermal stress.
“During development, we focused on optimizing high-speed differential transmission for both Ethernet and multimedia communication,” said Leon Hung, Product Manager at ATTEND. “HS-MTP provides the bandwidth and modular flexibility demanded by next-generation Ethernet and camera networks, while HSD ensures proven stability for infotainment, display, and telematics systems. Together, they enable future-ready, space-saving data architectures in automotive and industrial platforms.”
