Cables incorporate twisted shielded-pair design

Tyco Electronics has launched Madison Cable-brand Infinitwist cables, which are suitable for Infiniband-standard, 10G/40G/100G Ethernet-standard and fibre-channel-standard applications.

The new cables are designed to outperform parallel-pair cable products in terms of bend radius, flexibility and overall mechanical reliability.

Incorporating a twisted shielded-pair design, Infinitwist cables improve cable management in high-density systems through a tighter bend radius that is less than two-and-a-half 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, reducing commonly known parallel-pair design termination issues.

The twisted-pair feature increases flexibility and mechanical reliability over parallel pairs, decreases the time delay skew and improves mode conversion.

Available in constructions of one to 36 pairs and more, Infinitwist cables utilise conductor sizes of 32 AWG to 24 AWG to meet the demands of multiple interconnect lengths.

The cables can be manufactured in both 85ohm and 100ohm impedance and can support transmission speeds of up to 16GHz and beyond.

The high-speed cables are suitable for Infiniband-standard applications (SDR, DDR, QDR and FDR - 1X, 4X and 12X); 10G/40G/100G Ethernet-standard applications (1X, 4X and 10X); SAS 6 applications; and fibre-channel-standard applications (12Gb/s, SFP+, QSFP+, CXP, CR4, CR10 and 16Gb/s).
