An Introduction to High Speed Cable Assemblies

Introduction

Cable assemblies are the core element of most electronic devices, beyond their base components. Your choice of cable assembly affects performance and ease of use. Assemblies tailored towards speed will naturally result in much faster data processing and lower latency.

Factors in Cable Assembly Selection

Attenuation: Signal will decrease in magnitude over its transmission through the cable. The loss of signal strength is a result of absorption and will typically worsen the smaller and longer the cable is.

Impedance: Measured between two conductors, it should be as similar between two connectors on the cable as possible, to minimize mismatched pairs and loss of fidelity.

Factors continuedPropagation delay: Speed at which the signal travels from one

end of the cable to another. The higher, the better.

Skew: Differences in propagation delay between different elements of the system. May lead to unforeseen behavior and change in the signal order or its contents.

Shielding: Poor shielding can lead to electromagnetic interference and signal corruption.

Benefits of High Speed Cable Assemblies

Signal speed: High speed assemblies are optimized for speed and reliability, ensuring consistent signal quality and improved performance.

Fidelity: Consistent quality will ensure accurate reception of the signal

through cable assemblies.

Shielding: Both standard and custom assemblies of this type are

characterized by excellent shielding and low susceptibility to interference.

How to Select an AssemblyTarget devices: Their size, spacing, connectors, and other factors will dictate which cables will be a practical choice and which are not.

Environment: Different cable

assemblies will have to be picked

depending on the surroundings of the

cable. Cable assemblies used outside

devices will require more protection than

those inside.

Budget: Highly expensive cable assemblies may not be necessary in some situations, especially when standard assemblies can do the job of custom ones.
