Cables (COAX and LVDS)

[adaml]

So, EPC is pretty good to look stuff up for the most part, but I struggle finding specific cables. A Tech will request a LVDS cable from VPM to Radio Receiver and I find EPC doesn't describe these cables very well. They'll even give me an SI document with schematics that list labelled connections, but EPC rarely lists cable connections on the part description. Is there a easy trick or tip to find COAX and LVDS cables in EPC?

90 percent of the time I can get them figured out by just going in to group 9.647. Have the tech take pictures of the ends, Gm does have a lot of pictures for them. I have also had to call partech a few times for some not listed in the catalog.

The pictures in EPC aren't always great quality but comparing the connector shapes has worked ok for me. Still learning though tbh
