In the field of high-speed data transmission, micro coaxial cable is increasingly becoming the mainstream wire material choice for high-precision applications such as consumer electronics, medical equipment, vehicle-mounted cameras, and industrial control systems, thanks to its excellent anti-interference performance, low signal attenuation, and excellent flexibility. So, what is the maximum data transmission rate that such micro coaxial cables can support?

Analysis of data rate for ultra-fine coaxial cable束
Compared with traditional wire harnesses, micro coaxial cable has obvious advantages in terms of signal integrity and shielding performance. Depending on different wire gauges (AWG) and structural design, its transmission rate can usually reach 6 Gbps, 8 Gbps, and even exceed 10 Gbps, widely used in scenarios such as 4K high-definition cameras, 5G communication equipment, and high-speed displays. Especially in ultra-high-frequency signal transmission and high-speed digital link systems, micro coaxial cable can significantly reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference) and signal crosstalk, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of high-speed data links.
