Today, with the continuous evolution of high-speed data transmission and precision electronic equipment, miniaturization, lightweight, and high-speed have become the mainstream direction of connection technology. As the key medium for realizing precise signal transmission, ultra-thin coaxial cables (Micro Coaxial Cable) are gaining more and more popularity among equipment manufacturers. So, how complex of signals can this seemingly slender cable transmit? And why has it become the standard configuration for high-end equipment? This article will take you to gain a deeper understanding.
What is ultra-fine coaxial cable?
Micro coaxial cable is a special type of cable with a diameter much smaller than that of traditional coaxial cables, typically ranging between 0.3 mm and 1.37 mm. It consists of an inner conductor, an insulating layer, an outer conductor (shield), and a protective layer, and possesses the following significant advantages:
Strong anti-interference capability
• Signal attenuation is extremely small
Supports high-speed, high-frequency signal transmission
Due to these characteristics, ultra-thin coaxial cables are widely used in scenarios with high requirements for signal integrity, such as laptops, smartphones, vehicle-mounted cameras, and medical imaging equipment.
How complex of signals can a very fine coaxial cable carry?
Extremely thin coaxial cables can not only stably transmit high-frequency signals, but also support the synchronous transmission of multiple channels of video, audio, and data.
Take the mainstream applications currently in use as an example, it can easily cope with:
4K/8K high-definition video signal
High-speed differential signals such as USB 3.1, MIPI CSI/DSI, with transmission rates of over 10 Gbps, while ensuring signal integrity and low latency.
With these performances, ultra-fine coaxial cables have become the ideal solution for complex signal transmission environments such as high-end electronic products, vehicle imaging systems, and industrial robots.
