High Speed Cable Assemblies
High-Density • Design Flexibility • High Reliability

Samtec’s high-speed cable assemblies feature Eye Speed® cable technology for excellent signal integrity performance with individual copper serve or braid shielding. The conductor is stranded for a small bend radii and dynamic high flexing cycle applications, and cost-effective ribboned cable eliminates discrete wires.

With up to 14 Gbps performance, these high-speed cables have mix-and-match end options for application specific requirements with extensive custom capabilities.

  • Single-ended 50 Ω and differential 100 Ω standards

  • 26 - 38 AWG coax and twinax construction

  • Rugged features and options including strain relief, plastic housings, screw downs, latches, locks, etc.
