1950s - The Umbilical Connectors
Originally designed for aircraft radio systems, the Cannon D-Sub became the first-ever multi-purpose connector, ideal for many different applications. Throughout the years, this versatility made this Cannon invention the most widely used connector in the world. As is often the case with amazing discoveries like this, the team didn’t know it was making history; it simply thought it was making a better, smaller product for the customer.
“We kept hearing that people wanted smaller plugs, so we decided to make some,” said Bob Cannon, the Cannon Electric Company leader at that time, with typical matter-of-factness.
