The role of connectors in enabling 5G

Connectors are a key part of the infrastructure that supports 5G connectivity. As an important link between the cable that transmits data and the device that transmits information, these have doubled. The potential of 5G connectivity is almost unlimited, and the statistics are unimaginable. Analysts predict that global 5G connections will double to 1.34 billion in 2022 and increase to 3.6 billion in 2025.

Currently, the advantages of 5G are most prominent in personal devices such as smartphones and home appliances such as smartphones. But, as the rollout of 5G gains momentum, the impact will be huge. Data-intensive applications that benefit from real-time communication will make a lot of progress. These include self-driving cars, robotic surgery, medical wearables, traffic management, and of course today's smart factory (industrial Internet of Things). With the development of high-speed data transmission, the performance, size and electromagnetic signal interference (EMI) shielding of connector design have been innovated. Communication applications use different versions and sizes, but the M16 connector is the preferred choice for 5G antennas. For cell tower antennas, the need for faster and more reliable data transmission is driving the development of connectors to support specific requirements. Developed by the Antenna Interface Standards Group. The communication interface of "Remote Electric Tilt (RET)" of mobile phone antenna is defined. The AISG standard helps define AISG connectors for RS-485 (AISG C485) used in outdoor applications. AISG standards have redefined connector miniaturization for electrical and mechanical properties, environmental conditions, and materials Connectors are getting smaller as 5G networks and other high-speed data transmission applications grow in size year by year. Circular connectors face challenges in saving space and weight, handling lightning-fast speeds, and continue to provide reliability and robustness to handle the harsh conditions faced by 5G cell towers. This requires design engineers to maintain a balance between performance and reliability. The best balance is largely dependent on the application, working with the customer to ensure all criteria are met. But performance and durability in smaller packages are needed in almost all markets today, not just communications, so investment in design is critical to vendor success. As 5G, IIoT, and other Industry 4.0 applications expand, so will the demand for higher performance, smaller, lighter connectors.
