I found out the HD-26 connector specified in EIA-530 was only ever used ext ensively by Cisco. They stopped using it some years ago and so suppliers s topped making the panel side dual height stacked connector. My customer st ill uses it on their equipment and found that a local cable house had a con tact who is now making it as a custom for my customer.
It is a D shell shape with a much smaller pin spacing than a DB-xx connecto r, that's the appeal. It uses the same jack screws and seems pretty solid.
Anyone use this HD-26 connector? Where are you getting them? I can find l ots of cables, but not the panel/PCB mount connector.
