Methode Electronics Ireland manufactures a range of High Speed Serial Data cables for use in Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Its connector style offerings consists of a 4 pin configuration of the DB9 (Style 1) connector both male and female, a Methode designed High Speed Serial Data Connector (HSSDC Style 2) which utilizes 150W differential Quad construction cable. Loopback assemblies for use in arbitrated loop applications, Internal Drive Adaptor cable assemblies (IDAC) which use a 1*3 position IDAC connector and a 150W shielded differential pair cable along with a range of both standard and customized Media Interface Adapter compliant cable assemblies.

In order to ensure the manufacture and supply of a high performance product to comply with customer expectations. Methode made a strategic decision in 1998 to put in place full high speed test capability in order to ensure rapid development of new products, and continuous improvement of current designs to provide the highest level of signal integrity achievable.

Due to this large offering of cable configurations, Methode's expertise in the area of testing capabilities and design and its close relationship with its customers in the design of customized assemblies Methode Electronics Ireland has positioned itself as a leading manufacturer of Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet interconnect products.
