ZYGO 1115-800-055 – HSSDC2 to HSSDC2 High‑Speed Data Cable for Precision Metrology & Motion Systems

The ZYGO 1115-800-055 is a factory-terminated HSSDC2-to-HSSDC2 copper cable engineered for stable, low-skew data transmission between ZYGO controllers, sensor modules, and motion subsystems. One thing I appreciate is how predictable these HSSDC2 (SFF‑8470) links behave in lab and production setups—especially when you’re mixing high-speed acquisition with precision stage control. It’s a simple component, yet in many cases it’s the difference between a flaky link and a clean, repeatable measurement workflow.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Lead time: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery
• Express delivery: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• HSSDC2 to HSSDC2 (SFF‑8470): Secure, latching 4‑lane high‑speed copper interconnect for dependable point‑to‑point links.
• Signal integrity tuned for instrumentation: Low-skew paired conductors and robust shielding help maintain stable links in metrology racks.
• Ruggedized ends: Factory-molded backshells and strain relief to tolerate frequent connect/disconnect cycles.
• EMI-conscious design: Shielded construction to reduce crosstalk and emissions—useful around laser heads, encoders, and motion drives.
• Protocol-agnostic cabling: Suitable for devices that specify HSSDC2 copper ports; actual protocol compatibility depends on the hardware.
• Vendor-matched for ZYGO systems: From my experience, using the OEM cable typically avoids intermittent errors that arise with generic interconnects.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

You might notice this model used anywhere a ZYGO controller or acquisition module exposes an HSSDC2 copper port. Typical scenarios include:

• Optical interferometry systems linking sensor heads, controllers, and stage control units
• Precision motion and positioning setups in semiconductor and advanced optics manufacturing
• Lab test racks where multi‑gigabit instrumentation channels need short, stable copper runs
• Integration of ZYGO modules within automated inspection cells and metrology benches

Advantages & Value

• Reliability: From my experience, OEM-matched cabling reduces link drops and odd handshaking behavior during long measurement runs.
• Compatibility: Terminations and pinout align with ZYGO’s HSSDC2 ports—usually plug-and-go, no guesswork.
• Cost of ownership: A correctly spec’d high-speed cable often saves more in uptime than it costs to purchase.
• Technical support: Easier troubleshooting since the cable matches the vendor’s recommended interconnect standard.

Installation & Maintenance

• Environment: Install in a grounded cabinet or managed cable tray; maintain ventilation around control hardware.
• Routing: Keep away from high‑power motor drives and RF sources; avoid tight bends. A bend radius ≥10× OD is a good rule of thumb.
• Connection: Power down connected equipment before mating; align the HSSDC2 key; fully engage the latch for a secure fit.
• Care: Do not pull on the cable to disconnect; use the backshell. Periodically inspect latch tabs and jackets for wear.
• Cleanliness: If needed, wipe connector shells with a lint‑free cloth; keep dust caps on spares.
• System checks: If a device supports multiple link modes, verify firmware/settings match the intended copper interface.

Quality & Certifications

• RoHS: Cable assemblies of this type are typically RoHS compliant.
• CE/UL: Passive interconnects may not require CE marking; many OEM cables use UL AWM‑rated components—confirm per lot if your project mandates it.
• Quality system: Produced under established manufacturer quality controls; batch traceability available in most cases.
• Warranty: 365 days limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Note: HSSDC2 (SFF‑8470) is a connector/interconnect standard. Protocol compatibility (e.g., specific controller-to-module links) depends on the connected devices. If you’re matching this to a non‑ZYGO port, share the target hardware model and we’ll verify fit before you place the order.
