With the continuous increase in demand for high-speed data transmission from 5G communication, high-definition displays, in-car imaging, and medical imaging equipment, traditional cable structures are difficult to balance the design trends of higher bandwidth, lower interference, and miniaturization. At this point, micro coaxial cable (extremely thin coaxial cable) has gradually become the core solution for internal connections of high-end data equipment, thanks to its excellent signal integrity and anti-interference performance. However, in increasingly stringent high-speed data environments, these cables also face new challenges.
One, the three major challenges of high-speed transmission for micro coaxial cable
Higher signal integrity requirements
Under high-speed signal transmission conditions, cables must have low attenuation and low crosstalk characteristics to ensure stable data transmission.
Micro coaxial cable, through the independent coaxial structure, full metal shielding layer, and precise impedance control, effectively reduces signal loss and ensures high-speed transmission quality.
Stricter connector matching and grounding design
High-speed environments not only test the performance of the cables themselves, but the design of the connectors also directly affects the overall signal performance.
High-quality connectors must have stable contact impedance, good vibration resistance, and convenient plug-and-play capability to maintain reliable connections during continuous high-frequency operation.
3. The balance between slimming down and flexible wiring
With the increasingly compact internal space of devices, cables not only need to transmit high-speed signals but also need to balance extremely high flexibility and thin and light structures.
Micro coaxial cable can be flexibly routed in confined spaces while meeting high-frequency and high-bandwidth requirements, making it an ideal internal connection solution for miniaturized equipment.
