Corporate Activities What is a Connector

Connectors mostly transmit electricity, but they can also transmit light (via fiber optic), fluids (water, fuel, oil, food products) or gas. A same connector can be hybrid and mix these different types of contacts.

The challenge when connecting a device is to ensure that its performance is not disrupted by the transmission process. This can be critical when, for instance, patients’ lives depend on the reliability of medical equipment.
