Delphi Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Cable Assemblies and Connectors

Delphi's Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Cable Assemblies and Connectors address the need of high performance data transmission applications. LVDS technology allows products to offer high data rates up to 2 gigabits per second.

The LVDS standard, ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A, is an important differential data transmission standard from the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association (TIA/EIA). Delphi's products conform to the established standards for multiple indexes and colors. This helps assure proper manufacturing of the assemblies.

Delphi's wide range of products to support LVDS includes cable, cable assemblies, connectors, and headers.
