NEW USB-C FEEDTHROUGH CONNECTOR FROM CLIFF
ELECTRONICS’ IS REVERSIBLE
Cliff Electronics announces the addition of a
FeedThrough version of the industry-standard
USB-C connector which can carry data and
power on a single cable. The Cliff USB-C
connector has no up or down orientation and
the connector cannot be mis-inserted.
Able to connect to, and power devices
including a native DisplayPort, MHL, or HDMI
device, the 24-pin USB connector system
has a double-sided rotationally-symmetrical
design. Connection to both sides of the
connector is made using off-the-shelf,
standard USB-C male leads.
In common with the rest of Cliff’s extensive
range of FeedThrough connectors, the new
USB-C version may be mounted into an
industry standard XLR connector panel cut
out, simplifying system design and improving
product aesthetics. The USB-C connector may
also be fitted to Cliff’s purpose built 19” rack
panels providing systems integrators with fast
and convenient system assembly.
Cliff’s XLR format FeedThrough connectors
take advantage of the standard 24mm panel
cut out widely used in audio and broadcast
systems and which is finding increasing
popularity instrumentation, medical and
industrial applications due to the format’s
flexibility, security and reliability. The new
Cliff USB-C connecter may be mounted to the
front or rear of control panels and supplied
with plain or countersunk mounting holes.
Dan Walker, General Sales Manager, of Cliff
Electronics, comments; “USB-C has been
widely adopted as the standard connector for
supplying data and power between devices
and systems. With our new FeedThrough
version, all users have to do is line up the
connector properly to make the connection,
it never needs to be rotated for correct
operation - the “right way” is always up.”

Analogue, Digital and Optical Feed-Through
connectivity in formats including VGA, Mini
