DELL Wyse 3040

Dell unveils the Wyse 3040 entry-level thin client

Dell recently announced the launch of the Wyse 3040, a thin client that is compatible with Citrix, Microsoft and VMware virtual workspace environments.
With a new slim line form factor starting at just 0.24kg , the Wyse 3040 is the first entry-level thin client to feature an Intel Atom X5 1.44GHz quad-core processor that supports up to 2GB DDR3 RAM and 8GB flash. Designed for efficiency, the Wyse 3040 delivers 30% better performance than previous generations and with its small size, it’s also easy to mount on the back of a monitor for a clean, de-cluttered workspace. Priced at US$329, additional features include a choice in the operating system.
The Wyse 3040 comes with the virus-resistant Wyse ThinOS software that has no published APIs and therefore no attack surface, Dell said. Starting in June 2017, customers will also be able to choose Wyse ThinLinux, a thin client-optimized software based on SUSE Linux that has been further hardened and optimized by Dell for thin client environments.

Pasternack Cables

Pasternack VNA test cables operate up to 110 GHz

Pasternack, a provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released four new 1.0 mm flexible cables that the company says are designed to deliver precision testing results for Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) testing, semiconductor probe testing, automotive radar testing and military radar testing. Designed for applications such as test benches, radar, microwave radio and millimeter wave radio, they operate at up to 110 GHz delivering precise results for testing using a coaxial cable and 1.0 mm stainless steel connector interfaces.
The coaxial cable is covered by a non-conductive Nomex outer sleeve, a light-duty armoring that protects the small, 0.27-inch diameter cable and improves stability during flexure. These cables feature 50 Ohm impedance, a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1 and excellent phase/amplitude stability under flexure.
They are RoHS and REACH compliant and each cable assembly is fully tested and comes with serialized test data. The cables are available in standard 6-inch and 12-inch lengths with male-to-male or male-to-female configurations.
Pasternack’s 1.0 mm flexible VNA test cables are in-stock and ready for immediate shipment with no minimum order quantity.
