With the continuous increase in the demand for high-speed data transmission from 5G communication, high-definition display, in-car imaging, and medical imaging equipment, the traditional cable structure is no longer able to meet the 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 due to its excellent signal integrity and anti-interference performance. However, in the increasingly stringent high-speed data environment, such 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 its 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 cable itself, but also the design of the connector directly affects the overall signal performance.
High-quality connectors must have stable contact impedance, good vibration resistance, and convenient plug-and-play capabilities to maintain reliable connections during continuous high-frequency operations.
Balancing slimming down and flexible wiring
With the increasingly compact internal space of devices, cables must not only transmit high-speed signals but also maintain high flexibility and thin and light structures.
Micro coaxial cable can flexibly route in narrow spaces, simultaneously meeting the needs of high frequency and high bandwidth, and is an ideal internal connection solution for miniaturized equipment.
