General Description
Use these cables to interconnect equipment which utilizes 50-pin MDR (Mini Delta Ribbon) connectors. These attractive cables feature 50-pin MDR Male connectors on each end, overmolded ends with strain reliefs, twisted pair wiring, and a shielded cable jacket. Latches secure the cable to the mating connector. Two cable lengths (3 feet and 6 feet) are available. These cables are general purpose and are compatible with Winford Engineering's 50-pin Mini D-Ribbon breakout boards.
MDR Connector Details
The Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) series of connectors provides a compact arrangement of durable sliding 'ribbon' contacts. The high contact density and good performance at high speeds have yielded many applications for this connector type. These are 'half-pitch' connectors, meaning that the contact spacing is tighter than full-size Centronics connectors, such as those used on our BRKDC36F or BRKDC50F breakout boards. The 'half-pitch' connectors utilize contacts on 0.05" centers.
Twisted Pairing
This cable utilizes twisted pair wiring. The pair mapping is as follows: 1/2, 3/4 ... 47/48, 49/50.
Mini D-Ribbon Breakout Boards
These MDR cables are compatible with Winford Engineering's 50-pin Mini D-Ribbon breakout boards, shown below.
