& TECHNOLOGY
Thecables are said tooffer theperformance
of standard Belden HD digital video cables
but with improved EMC performance for
greater confidence in the signal integrity
when used at data rates of 3GB/s. An outer
layer of foil features a unique shorting fold,
which creates the effect of a solid metal
conduit. The fold provides metal-to-metal
contact, so improving the high frequency
performance of the cable, and prevents
a slot opening from being created in the
shield, thereby preventing signal egress
or ingress. The outer foil is bonded to the
jacket, making stripping and connecting
easier.
Cables for robots
Developed for mobile video conference
and telepresence robot applications,
Cicoil’s ultra-flexible flat silicone cables are
halogen free and flame retardant, and
designed to perform in confined areas.
Their design is said to offer premium
current carrying capacity, reduced skewing
effects, weight and space savings, tighter
bend radius and consistent electrical
performance.
Cicoil’s proprietary extrusion process allows
individual components to be placed in
a flat cable, precisely controlling the
spacing of the inner components, the
insulation thickness and the overall cable
shape. The silicone is self-healing from
small punctures, and cable jacket
damage can easily be repaired in the field.
In addition, the non-contaminating, silicone
encapsulation will not delaminate or
degrade with exposure to steam, water,
alcohol, UV light, high heat (+260°C),
humidity, mechanical stress, vibration,
shock and many chemicals.
The lightweight cables can incorporate
any variety of power conductors, shielded
signal pairs for superior EMI/RFI suppression
(Cat 5e, USB, FireWire) and coax conductors
in a single, compact cable design. In
addition to every type of electrical
conductor, the cables can also include
single and multi-lumen tubing, and other
design elements, such as Cicoil's
StripMount™ fastening strip, all in the same
cable and so precisely controlling the inner
component spacing, jacket thickness and
overall cable shape.

Flightlink for aircraft systems
OFS has launched two new products in
its FlightLink™ series of cables for use in
commercial aircraft systems. In addition to
the existing FlightLink 62.5, qualified to the
ARINC 802 standard,
the new 50µmOM3 and
bend-optimized single
mode products are
available for increased
bandwidth options
in system designs.
FlightLink OM3 can
support 100Gb ethernet
up to 100 meters, a
length believed to exceed typical aircraft
optical fiber interconnect lengths.
All FlightLink cables are qualified to 200°C
and are designed with identical tight buffer
construction to eliminate the kinking to
which loose tube cables are prone.
