    • High-speed transmission for 64 Gbps/lane PAM4 with Paddle Card Technology

    Signal quality is improved by adopting a paddle card in the cable plug section.
    This enables even faster transmission from the existing CABLINE series.

    LEAPWIRE®  jumper solution for micro-coaxial cable

    Cable Jumper Harnesses are more advantageous than PCB in terms of transmission.
    Transmission distance comparison of Low-Loss PCB (Dk3.7) vs CABLINE-CAP® harness (Micro-coaxial cable)
    Micro-coaxial Cable can transmit approximately 2.3 times farther in the 16 GHz band than Low-Loss PCB (Dk3.7)

    Low-Speed Cable Assemblies in Enterprise Applications

    As data rates increase, servers are using more cable assemblies. High-speed cables are the main driver, as PCBs can no longer “go the distance.” But low-speed cable assemblies continue to be important. Low-speed assemblies are still commonly used for power distribution, low-speed signals and auxiliary lines.
