CCN IS BACK

11/2/2021

 
It’s been quiet for a while at Connected Community Networks. But that is about to change as we re-launch our test and measurement product lines and get back to our business of supporting you.

During this time of COVID, CCN has struggled to staff and run our business, and we feel very fortunate to be able to restart our work.

While we know supply chains have been affected severely across the globe, we have been minimizing our reliance on off shore supplies and materials, and using more local manufacturing services.

We are bringing up our Probe Ranger(TM) products first, with others to follow, including Introbotix(R) test systems. This transition allows us to focus on delivering our test capabilities through our product lines.

CCN just hired a new Operations Manager, Anne McGehan, to relaunch daily operations. She’ll be contacting many of our clients and distributors in the coming weeks.

If you don’t have a connection to one of our third-party sales channels, you may write ccnsales@ccnlabs.com to get connected.

We appreciate your business and the trust you’ve placed in our products. We look forward to reconnecting with you and once again supporting your test and measurement needs.

It's good to be back!

Free SignalIntegrity Software Tools from Teledyne LeCroy Assists your S-Parameter and Signal Measurements

2/6/2019

 
You may have heard that Teledyne LeCroy just released a new open-source software application and tool set. We at CCN recognize the value of these new tools to our customers and partners who can benefit directly from them. 

Here’s some of what this new application and tool set will do: 
- calculate s-parameters of interconnected networks
- perform adapter and de-embedding functions for S-parameter and TDR/T measurements
- provide virtual probing of simulated or measured signals

CCN will demonstrate how these new tools can aid users of test fixtures like our Probe Ranger, FastProbe, and the nTegrity de-embed and analyze differential channels. Contact us now to learn how these new tools help you analyze and manipulate measured channel responses.

To try the SignalIntegrity tools, see Pete Pupalaikas’s announcement at:  https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6498666052774305792/

CCN at DesignCon 2019

1/28/2019

 
Dr. Don DeGroot of CCN is co-presenting DesignCon 2019 talk on Dk/Df testing - Apples-to-Apples PCB Laminate Characterization. Don coauthored the presentation with Bill Hargin of Z-Zero and Bret Moreland of CCN. The talk and associated paper demonstrate the need for dielectric testing to evaluate a variety of copper clad laminates for a specific high-speed designs, AND the need for dielectric testing in controlling supplier materials after design selection. Join us Wed. Jan. 30 in Ballroom D of the Santa Clara Convention Center to learn of expedient solutions to testing dielectric constant and loss tangent of CCLs for material selection in design and supply chain monitoring in manufacturing.

Probe Ranger quote request forms repaired and open for business

8/8/2018

 
The Probe Ranger quote request forms are back up and running. A big thank you to customer who pointed out problems today!

Use the online quote request forms to identity the Probe Ranger, FastProbes, and related accessories you or interested in purchasing or evaluating, and we will send a quote to you as soon as we can.

​And always feel free to make direct contact with web form or the phone.

CCN opens online store & online quotation requests

8/30/2016

 
CCN has added a new online store to sell lower-cost PCB test products and training. Buyers can make credit card purchases of CCN's 25 GHz Circuit Probes, Skit S-Parameter Training Kits, and of individual subscriptions to the Teledyne LeCroy Signal Integrity Academy.

CCN's probe station and dielectric material test system pages have also been updated to provide online quotation request forms.

Check out both new features. The added features reduce response time to sales requests. Customers may call or complete a contact form to receive personalized support.

See the nTegrity PCB QA Test System at PCB West 2016

6/29/2016

 
CCN will exhibit our 30 GHz PCB Test System at PCB West 2016 this September 14th in Santa Clara, CA. nTegrity provides quick and accurate testing of PCB test coupons for signal integrity applications. nTegrity is built around the Teledyne LeCroy SPARQ and starts by capturing scattering parameters of the test devices. nTegrity tests single-ended and differential test lines for total loss, impedance, delay, and delay skew. Coupons are clamped on the test fixture without need for connectors or hand-held probes, greatly  reducing test time while improving test repeatability.

For more information about PCB West, visit www.pcbwest.com, or click here for the full conference catalog.

CCN announces new dielectric test system

6/10/2016

 
CCN introduces DkWGR, a new addition to its line of dielectric material test systems. DkWGR performs dielectric constant and loss tangent testing at X-band frequencies in the range 9-12 GHz. The system is a combination of test fixture, automation and computation software, and a dielectric verification specimen. DkWGR implements a waveguide resonator perturbation method described in test method ASTM D2520 B for room temperature testing. This method has become important again to a number of high-speed and rf electronic applications, and is being called out as a qualification test for a number of material contracts. CCN's website provides a brochure with specification and description. Contact Don at CCN to schedule a demonstration.

New Product Brochures Online

6/2/2016

 
CCN has posted new product brochures for our Dielectric Material Test Systems DkSLR and DkSCR; our most popular circuit board probe station, Prober Ranger 1800; and the Vertical Ranger accessory for our probe stations. The brochures provide more technical information and photos depicting each product. Check them out by following in-line links or visiting our Products page.

IPC APeX/Expo Best Paper Goes to...

3/24/2016

 
CCN receives IPC APEX/Expo best paper award. A collaboration led by Glenn Oliver of DuPont received the 2016 APEX/Expo Best Paper award for our contribution, "Round Robin of High Frequency Test Methods by IPC-D24C Task Group.” Glenn Oliver, DuPont Electronics & Communications, presented the paper in a technical session. His co-authors were Jonathan Weldon, DuPont Electronics & Communications; John Andresakis, Park Electrochemical; Chudy Nwachukwu, Isola; John Coonrod, Rogers Corporation; David L. Wynants, Sr., Taconic Advanced Dielectric Division; and Don DeGroot, Connected Community Networks, Inc.

Thanks, Glenn, for leading this effort. CCN was proud to be a part of the work.

How do they come up with those data sheet values?

1/18/2016

 
Join us in the Chiphead Theater at DesignCon 2016 on Wednesday, January 20 at 1:00 p.m. for the presentation, "How do they come up with those data sheet values." Dr. Don DeGroot of CCN will be joining other industry experts in revealing the truth behind dielectric material specifications and their source.
