CLIFF™ Electronics Space Saving, Dual USB Socket in a Single XLR Shell
CLIFF™ Electronics announces the introduction of its’ unique, dual USB2 connector which provides two fully USB compliant sockets in a space-saving, single XLR receptacle. USB connections to audio, broadcast, audio-visual products, instrumentation and industrial equipment is becoming more common.

These are configured to facilitate either direct soldered PCB mounting or connection by header cable. CLIFF™ Electronics are happy to provide customers with standard or custom designed header cables to meet individual system requirements.
The XLR connector style body shell was selected by Cliff™ as it is widely used in the audio / broadcast industries, is an industry standard panel cut-out and offers maximum panel mounting density to system designers.

Our new dual USB socket is the first product from our new development programme which will include a series of USB, ethernet and other data connectors, primarily in XLR and other industry standard shells.
