Niche Products That Get You Out of Jams

Engineering and installing products is always an adventure. No matter how hard you plan, little problems always seem to crop up. One missed measurement or unknown factor can turn a quick, easy job into a nightmare. And in the heat of an approaching deadline, you need a vendor you can trust to have niche products when you need them.

Space

One of the biggest problems that our customers tell us about is space. On paper, a rack seemed to have plenty of room for everything you needed, but once you get to the cramped wiring closet or overused gang box in a wall you realize that the connectors and cables are not going to fit easily.

Here are some L-com products that help you save space:

Right Angle Adapters	Super Thin SVGA Cables	High Density Patch Panels	Reverse Entry GPIB Cables

Emergency Re-wirings

How often have you pulled a cable through a wall and found that you needed to cut off the connector and re-wire it? Enough of our customers had complained about this that we started carrying "Field Termination" connectors. These unique connectors have screw-terminals on the back.  Keep a couple of these on-hand and you'll never need to re-solder a connector again!

L-com's Field Termination connectors include:

D-Sub Connectors DB9, DB15 and DB25	Video Connectors MD4 (S-Video), VGA, and DVI	New for you! USB Field Termination	SVGA HD15 Field Termination connector

Extension

Have you ever measured twice and still ended up short? The most frustrating thing is buying a cable at the length you need, and finding out that you're a couple of feet short. Do you return the cable or extend the line?

L-com's extension options for common connector types can save the day! And, since we stock these products for same-day shipment, you don't have to worry about your deadlines! Check out these helpful products:
