Trend 1: From standard to customized
Traditional connectors belong to passive products, manufacturers to provide standardized products to customers can, with the diversification of electronic products and more and more intelligent products such as robots, drones, etc., manufacturers need more customized connector products to meet the needs of products, connector product manufacturers need to develop new products with customers to meet the shape and functional needs of customers. Therefore, connector manufacturers should participate in the design of customers in advance.
Trend 2: From single signal transmission to multi-signal transmission
Traditional connectors only transmit a single signal, such as video, control or data signals, with increasingly thin electronic products, connectors from a single signal transmission into a variety of signal transmission, the same cable can simultaneously transmit optical, electrical or other signals, which is also conducive to saving space to improve system reliability.
Trend 3: From passive products to modular intelligence
In order to obtain more profits, traditional connector manufacturers are turning the connector from a passive product into a modular product, such as the server cable provider will make the connector intelligent, by adding an active IC to turn a single cable into a smart cable that can monitor data.
Trend four, Miniaturization Thin miniaturization
Nowadays, electronic products are becoming thinner and thinner, which also promotes the development of connected machine products and connector products to small size, low height, narrow spacing, multi-function, long life, surface installation and other directions. Therefore, connector manufacturers should adapt to these changes to improve the process and design.
