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 a key medium for achieving precise signal transmission, extremely thin coaxial cables (Micro Coaxial Cable) are increasingly favored by device manufacturers. So, what kind of complex 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 understand in depth.
What is ultra-fine coaxial cable?
Micro coaxial cable is a special type of cable material with a diameter much smaller than traditional coaxial cables, with the cable diameter typically ranging between 0.3 mm and 1.37 mm. It consists of an inner conductor, insulation layer, outer conductor (screening layer), and protective layer, and possesses the following significant advantages:
Strong anti-interference capability
Signal attenuation is extremely low
Supports high-speed, high-frequency signal transmission
Due to these characteristics, ultra-thin coaxial cables are widely used in applications that require extremely high signal integrity, such as laptops, smartphones, vehicle cameras, and medical imaging equipment.
How complex of a signal can a very thin coaxial cable carry?
Extremely fine coaxial cables can not only stably transmit high-frequency signals, but also support the simultaneous transmission of multi-channel video, audio and data.
As an example of the mainstream applications currently in use, it can easily deal with:
4K/8K high-definition video signal
High-speed differential signals such as USB 3.1, MIPI CSI/DSI, with transmission rates over 10 Gbps, while ensuring signal integrity and low latency.
With these performance, ultra-fine coaxial cables have become an ideal solution for complex signal transmission environments such as high-end electronic products, vehicle image systems, and industrial robots.
