Samtec Inc. has expanded its Data Rate high-speed cable assembly line with the launch of its 75Ω single-ended 38 AWG micro ribbon coax cable system. The EQSD series cable assembly is available with vertical mount or edge mount sockets or terminals and mates with high-speed Q Series connectors on 0.8mm pitch. Application specific designs can be developed for mating with Q Series connectors on other pitches. The75Ω system broadens Samtec’s existing line of 50Ω single-ended and 100Ω differential pair Data Rate Cable assemblies to three off-the-shelf impedance matched systems. They mate to Q Series connectors on 0.5mm, 0.635mm and 0.8mm pitches and Q2 Series connectors on 0.635mm pitch.
The Data Rate cables include 100Ω twinax edge card and high-density DataBank assemblies, PCIe jumpers, combination Signal/QuietPower assemblies, and a variety of specific application test probes. Standard cables are available in a variety of lengths and with rugged features for shielding, screw hardware, and latching options. Pricing varies by cable length, number of pins and termination options.
