TWINAX 100 Ohm

Application

The TWINAX 100 Ohm high speed cable range is designed to meet the DataCom network requirements and are more particularly those for high speed transmissions : Storage Area Network, Serial ATA, Infiniband, 10 Gbit Ethernet, 10 Gbit Fiber Channel.

Construction

1 - Twinax

Silver plated copper conductor

Texfoam insulation

Tinned plated copper drain wire

Polyester / Aluminium tape (aluminium inside)

Polyester glued tape

2 - Polyester tape

3 - Screen

Tinned copper braid

4 - Jacket

PVC lead free for the whole range.

Other jacket materials are available upon request such as HFFR (Halogen Free Flame Retardant)

Color code

Twinax wire : both white, identification of the wires possible with respect to the drain wire or marking Twinax identification : numbered 1 to 8 (7 and 8 are centered)

The cable range presents enhanced electrical performances :

• Low attenuation, low cross talk, low reflection (no attenuation suck outs)
• Low skew :

  • Internal skew : within the same pair

  • External skew : within two pairs in the cable

     

Performances

The performances are guaranteed by full electrical testing including Eye Pattern Diagram.
