As medical equipment continues to develop towards miniaturization, precision, and high performance, micro coaxial cable is becoming the preferred choice for an increasing number of medical device manufacturers. Especially in high-end application fields such as electronic endoscopes, surgical robots, and portable imaging equipment, micro coaxial cable, with its high-frequency transmission capability, excellent anti-interference performance, and excellent flexible structure, has significantly improved the overall performance and reliability of medical equipment.
What is a micro coaxial cable?
A super-fine coaxial cable束 is a high-frequency signal transmission cable with an extremely small outer diameter and highly precise structure. It usually consists of a central conductor, insulating layer, braid shield layer, and outer sheath. Its wire diameter can be as fine as less than 0.2 mm, and compared with traditional parallel wiring or multi-core wiring, it has the following significant advantages:
Excellent signal integrity
Effectively suppresses signal crosstalk and electromagnetic interference through coaxial structure, ensuring stable transmission of high-definition images and accurate data.
Extremely flexible
Adaptable to complex routing and multiple bending requirements, especially suitable for complex wiring environments inside minimally invasive medical devices.
Support high-frequency high-bandwidth transmission
Meet the needs of high-definition video, real-time imaging, and high-density signal transmission in high-bandwidth scenarios.
The core requirements of the medical field for ultra-fine coaxial cable bundles
With the rapid advancement of medical equipment intelligence and miniaturization, extremely thin coaxial cable bundles show significant advantages in the following typical scenarios:
Electroendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
The ability to transmit small-sized and high-resolution images ensures that doctors can achieve real-time, clear, and delay-free visual operations during surgery.
Robotic surgery
Multi-axis control and visual feedback systems require a large amount of high-speed signal transmission, and extremely thin coaxial cables can ensure high-frequency, high-speed, and stable signal transmission.
Portable imaging equipment
As ultrasonic diagnostic instruments and ECG monitors, there are higher requirements for the lightweight, flexible, and anti-interference capabilities of cables.
