The twisted pair design also helps to dramatically reduce termination issues associated with pistoning. The cables are inherently balanced and provide better mechanical reliability than parallel pair products. InfiniTwist cables are well suited for environments where flexibility, flex life and bend radius are concerns.
Our InfiniTwist family of high-speed cables is designed to out-perform parallel pair designs in bend radius, flexibility, reliability, time delay skew and mode conversion (SCD21). Using a twisted shielded pair design, InfiniTwist products allow for a tighter bend radius for improved cable management in high-density systems. The twisted pair design also helps dramatically reduce termination issues associated with pistoning and the cables are inherently balanced and provide better mechanical reliability than current parallel-pair products.
The cables can be manufactured in both 85 and 100 Ohm impedance and support transmission speeds up to 16 Gbps and beyond. This performance allows them to be used in applications such as InfiniBand SDR, DDR, QDR, and FDR – 1X, 4X AND 12X, 10G/40G/100G Ethernet (1X, 4X, 10X), SAS 6, AND 12 Gb/s, SFP+, QSFP+, CXP, CR4, CR10, 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel and other custom applications as specified by customer requests.
