The Modular Electronics Accessories – Cables family includes high-performance signal, clock, and optical link cable assemblies designed to ensure reliable interconnection, synchronization, and remote detector readout across CAEN modular electronics platforms.

These cables are engineered for low signal distortion, controlled impedance, and high-integrity transmission in demanding nuclear physics and instrumentation environments. The portfolio covers optical CONET networking cables, SiPM remotization harnesses, clock distribution links for multi-digitizer synchronization, flat micro-coax extensions for FERS front-end systems, and specialized interconnects for LVDS and timing distribution. Together, they enable scalable multi-board architectures, remote detector placement, and deterministic timing alignment in complex acquisition systems.

  • High-Integrity Optical & Timing Distribution
    Multimode LC-LC optical cables (AI2700 series) for CONET1/CONET2 networks and dedicated clock/sync cables (A319A/B, A316) for deterministic multi-digitizer synchronization.

  • Detector Remoting & Low-Noise Signal Transport
    SiPM remotization and FERS flat micro-coax cables (A5261, A5260) enabling detector relocation up to 1 m with controlled impedance, minimal attenuation, and stable bias/readout lines.

  • System Synchronization & Inter-Board Connectivity
    SATA and LVDS cable assemblies for multi-module timing alignment, event synchronization, and distributed acquisition architectures across heterogeneous digitizer families.

  • Optimized for Modular DAQ Infrastructures
    Precision-terminated assemblies (50 Ω impedance, low capacitance, controlled delay) supporting scalable nuclear instrumentation systems and high-speed data acquisition networks.
