INTRODUCING SAMTEC'S
ULTRA LOW SKEW TWINAX
CABLE TECHNOLOGY
Samtec's ultra low skew Eye Speed
®
twinax cable technology provides
engineers with the perfect solution for
applications that require extremely high
speeds using differential signals. All
Samtec cable solutions are made using
in-house custom machinery that carefully
monitors and controls the formation of
cables to ensure maximum consistency—
this also applies to twinax cables, which
integrate two individual cores separated
by a specific distance and surrounded
by a carefully controlled dielectric. The
high degree of precision offered by
Samtec's ultra low skew twinax cables
allows engineers to reduce cable sizes
by four gauges compared to competitor
products, which results in smaller cabling
that is lighter and easier to install, and
offers longer reach.
During the manufacturing of twinax
cables, cable impedance and other
important characteristics are carefully
monitored to ensure that each unique
cable has identical performance;
numerous proprietary manufacturing
techniques allow Samtec to control
We use in-house software and
materials science that allow us to
design and manufacture our cables
in an extremely controlled way.
The net result is that we provide
smaller twinax solutions than
competitor twinax solutions by up
to four gauges, resulting in more
compact cable assemblies."
