RS Components has established a new Connectivity Hub portal on its website to provide electronics design engineers, technical managers and students with an easy way to locate, design and purchase a wide range of connectivity components, devices and equipment.
The company stocks thousands of products for connecting devices, from board level design to interface cards, dongles and cables. The Connectivity Hub now provides a single site that links the major connectivity technologies used today in electronics design to the extensive range of products available from RS, along with further information and useful links. These include USB, Ethernet, I²C, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and low-power radio frequency (RF).
The hub will be updated on a regular basis with new product ranges, individual components and devices as well as product offers and the latest industry news. “Our world is becoming increasingly connected – almost every electronic product in our home, school or workplace has been designed to communicate with another device,” said Fred Knowles, head of Product Management, Electronics, at RS Components. “Whether at the board design or end-equipment interface level, connectivity is a fundamental part of modern product development. We believe that this new hub will make it easier for designers to quickly find and buy the right components for their designs.”
