I-PEX 83017-100B-01-D ultra-fine coaxial cable assembly product introduction

I-PEX 83017-100B-01-D is a CABLINE®-SS series 30P ultra-thin coaxial cable assembly, using Micro-Coaxial Cable (ultra-thin coaxial) structure, wire gauge of AWG#40, cable length of 200mm, and wire position defined as 1-1. The connector model used at the material end of this product is 20373-R30T-06, corresponding to CABLINE®-SS 30Pin plug Housing; the matching 30Pin Receptacle listed in the I-PEX official data is 20374-R30E-31. CABLINE®-SS adopts a 0.4mm terminal spacing, vertical right-angle connection structure, with a height of 1.65±0.2mm, suitable for high-density, small space internal connection applications.

Structure and Working Principle of Ultra-Fine Coaxial Cable
Extremely fine coaxial cables are not simply "fine wires"; their core lies in using the coaxial structure for signal transmission. They are usually composed of several parts, including a central conductor, an insulating dielectric layer, a shielding conductor, and an external sheath. The central conductor is responsible for transmitting high-speed electrical signals, while the insulating layer maintains a stable geometric distance and dielectric environment between the central conductor and the external shielding layer. The shielding layer forms a relatively stable electromagnetic boundary, which helps to reduce external electromagnetic interference and suppress the radiation of high-speed signals to the surrounding space. As the signal propagates along the central conductor, the electric field and magnetic field are mainly distributed between the conductor and the shielding structure, thereby forming a controlled transmission environment.

For high-speed signals, the value of extremely thin coaxial cables lies not only in their "small size" but also in their structure, which is conducive to controlling impedance, crosstalk, and signal integrity. I-PEX conducts high-speed tests on CABLINE®-SS using 40Pin, AWG#40 Micro-Coaxial Cable, 45Ω, 100mm, and GSSGSSG conditions, and positions the product for high-speed applications up to 16Gbps/Lane. It should be noted that the actual signal rate that the system can achieve is also related to the cable itself, connectors, PCB routing, termination, and system design, so when selecting engineering models, it cannot be judged solely based on the promotional speed of the connectors.

From the perspective of engineers and procurement, the application value of 83017-100B-01-D.

For engineers, the core value of 83017-100B-01-D lies in the 30P high-density connection, AWG#40 ultra-fine coaxial structure, 200mm length, and 1-1 straight-through line position definition, which can form a relatively clear engineering configuration. The CABLINE®-SS itself uses a 0.4mm pitch, 1.65±0.2mm matching height, and 3mm connector depth. The official product details also emphasize that its narrow-type structure can be matched with ultra-fine coaxial cables passing through small turntables, making it suitable for laptops, tablets, display modules, and other high-speed electronic devices with limited space. For procurement personnel, it is important to focus on verifying the model, pin count, wire gauge, length, line position definition, and connector model, and not just look at the parameters of "30P/AWG40/200mm". Particularly, it should be noted that I-PEX officially has a 1-N model 81463-100B-02-D with 30P and 200mm, while 83017-100B-01-D is 1-1, and the two cannot be regarded as the same cable just because the specifications are similar.

Selection, compatibility, and alternative solutions reference and recommendations
For the development of a compatible alternative for 83017-100B-01-D, it is recommended to use the original engineering drawings as a foundation. Item-by-item confirmation should be made for 30P, Micro-Coaxial, AWG#40, 50Ω, 200mm, 1-1 line position definition, and 20373-R30T-06 connector, while also focusing on termination dimensions, cable arrangement, fixing methods, and overall length tolerance. I-PEX official data indicates that CABLINE®-SS also covers specifications of 10P, 14P, 20P, 32P, 35P, 40P, and 50P, and simultaneously provides both 1-N and 1-1 types of cables, therefore, during actual replacement, it is particularly necessary to confirm the customer PCB end Pin definition as well as the signal correspondence between both ends.

Our company can provide I-PEX 83017-100B-01-D compatible alternative cable harness solutions. We can match and develop the wire materials, length, wire position, connector configuration, and processing technology of the 30P thin coaxial cable harness according to the actual equipment structure and electrical requirements of the customer. We provide compatible alternative support for engineering verification, sample testing, and bulk procurement.

The structure of extremely fine coaxial cables determines their high-speed transmission capability.
I-PEX 83017-100B-01-D is not only a 30P, AWG#40, 200mm ultra-fine coaxial cable assembly, but its core advantage also comes from the structured transmission method of the ultra-fine coaxial cable itself as well as the CABLINE®-SS miniaturized connector platform. The central conductor is responsible for signal transmission, the insulating medium maintains a stable electrical environment, the shielding structure helps control electromagnetic interference, and the connector is responsible for achieving high-density, reliable signal connections.
