Digital Diagnostic Xtreme™

At its core, DDX is a modular, intelligent cable health monitoring system. It integrates a series of sensors and a microcontroller into each cable module, enabling real-time diagnostics at both ends of the cable. Whether you’re powering a camera system or streaming high-speed data, DDX ensures your connection is not just active—but healthy.

Multi-Function Cable Application Trends

Vision and sensor systems are rapidly requiring better, more reliable data transmission, and more of it across longer distances at faster speeds. The manufacturing trends towards smart factories, increased use of robotics, and more and more machine vision applications within those industries are driving this demand.
