New space-savingAlphaWireMicro Coaxial
cable makes routing in medical and imaging
devices easier – now at Aerco
Alpha Wire has introduced a new Micro Coaxial Cable
so fine and light it can pass through the eye of a needle,
making it ideal for a wide range of applications where
space is at a premium. Micro Coax is especially suitable
for in-the-box medical devices such as medical probes,
endoscopy systems and oximetry systems. Alpha
Wire’s micro coax cable is now available from Aerco,
the distributor of electrical and electronic components
servicing hi-rel markets.
Alpha Wire Micro Coax Cable is available in a full
range of standard sizes from 50 AWG to 32 AWG and
features stranded conductors made from high strength
silver-plated or silver copper alloys for increased
flexibility. To cope with demanding environments, Micro
Coaxial Cable is insulated with a white PFA dielectric
jacket, which provides excellent signal integrity, low
capacitance and consistent controlled impedance (50Ω
characteristic impedance). Shielding is silver-plated
or tinned copper alloy spiral braid with a minimum of
90% shield coverage for excellent EMI protection. Micro
Coaxial Cable has a voltage rating of 30Vrms. Alpha
Wire Micro Coaxial Cable is available now in 100m
spools, and samples are available
Belden Introduces Cables to Meet New
European Standard for Use in Transportation
Industry
Belden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission
solutions for mission-critical applications, has received
approval from theUnitedNations’ Economic Commission
for Europe (ECE) on data, coax and microphone cables.
These cables now have ECE R118.02 approval and
meet the fire protection standards required for use in the
European transportation industry. The approved product
range includes data cables (100 Mbit/s, 1Gb/s and 10
Gb/s solid or flexible versions), 50 ohm low loss coaxial
and a microphone cable.
“As passengers demand more technology when
they travel by bus or coach, the need for high-speed,
reliable data communication isn’t an option any more
– it’s expected. To manage the increasing volumes of
data, the right Ethernet cabling is required behind the
scenes. Additionally, video and microphone signal
quality are becoming a priority for most bus and coach
manufacturers,” said Gihan Thabrew, marketing director
at Belden. “When selecting data cables to use in small
spaces, like passenger and engine compartments,
it’s critical that the cabling is flame resistant to protect
passengers in case of a fire.”
The new European standard sets high fire protection
requirements for cabling used within the transportation
industry, specifically in coaches and buses.
“Our cabling has undergone intense testing and meets
the ECE’s strict standards. Now, not only do our cables
transmit large quantities of data at high speeds, they are
enclosed in jacket material that resists flames,” added
Thabrew. “In the event of a fire, the jacket burns slowly,
does not produce any harmful substances when burning
and won’t reignite later on. This is now a required
safeguard for the transportation sector to put passenger
safety first.”
