Madison Cable InfiniTwist cables outperform parallel-pair cables
Tyco Electronics is launching Madison Cable InfiniTwist cables that are designed to outperform parallel-pair cable products in terms of bend radius, flexibility and overall mechanical reliability.
Utilising a twisted shielded-pair design, InfiniTwist cables improve cable management in high-density systems through a tighter bend radius that is less than 2.5 times the cable diameter (tested in accordance with the SFF 8417 multi-conductor cable flex cycle test procedure). The cables exhibit virtually no pistoning of conductors or pairs, thereby reducing commonly-known parallel-pair design termination issues. The twisted-pair feature increases flexibility and mechanical reliability over parallel pair cables, decreases time delay skew and improves mode conversion.
Available in constructions of 1 through 36 pairs and above, InfiniTwist cables utilise conductor sizes of 32 AWG through 24 AWG to meet the demands of multiple interconnect lengths. The cables can be manufactured in both 85 and 100 Ohm impedances and support transmission speeds up to 16GHz and beyond.
The high-speed cables are well-suited for: InfiniBand standard (SDR, DDR, QDR and FDR - 1X, 4X,12X); 10G/40G/100G Ethernet standard (1X, 4X, 10X); SAS 6; and 12 Gb/s, SFP+, QSFP+, CXP, CR4, CR10, 16Gb/s fibre channel standard applications - as well as other custom specifications.
