3M™ Twin Axial Cable Solutions
3M's Twin Axial Solutions
support existing, emerging or evolving system requirements as bandwidth and performance demands increase.
The
3M™
Twin Axial Solutions
feature the industry's first flat, foldable, and longitudinally-shielded high performance
twin axial ribbon
cable
products developed for high data-rate applications. These pliable, ultra-thin cables are designed to fold and bend in multiple locations with minimal to no impact on electronic performance. Using
3M's Twin Axial Solutions
,
design engineers can free up valuable space in extremely compact systems and route cables away from critical airflow paths and electronic components. With the
Twin Axial Cable
's high-end signal performance and lack of resonance to 20 GHz, design engineers can use the same cable for current and many future higher bandwidth protocols.

3M
introduced its first-generation, high-speed
SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable
and
8F36 Series Mini Serial Attached SCSI (MiniSAS) Cable Assemblies
offerings to meet the electrical requirements of high-speed data applications, alleviate system congestion, and clear airflow pathways.

SL8800
|
The
3M™ SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable
is a new family of high-performance
cables
offering ultra low-profile, high-speed, high signal density
cable
. Currently available in four-channel 100 ohm 30 AWG versions, the
3M SL8800 Series Cable
is the optimum solution for space-constrained systems. This
cable
is unjacketed, extremely thin, very flexible, and can even be folded with minimal loss or performance impact. The
3M SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable
can route along the sides of cabinets and through narrow openings in densely packaged equipment with little to no effect on performance. Even if the design does not require low profile cable, the high electrical performance of the
SL8800 Series
provides skew control, low attenuation, and high bandwidth for high-speed signal requirements. These features are especially critical at speeds beyond 10 Gbps as high speed applications continue to require more performance, the
3M SL8800 Series Cable
will deliver that performance for years to come.
Features
-
100 Ohm differential pairs
-
Four pairs with and without sidebands
-
.88 mm thick
-
The cable is UL AWM 21008 (150V, 80C); file number E42769
-
Halogen free
|
Applications
-
Paddle card terminated cable assemblies, such as mini serial attached
SCSI
(miniSAS)
-
Enterprise and Netcom markets

SFP+
|
SFP+ Series Cable Assemblies feature 3M™ Twin Axial Cable
technology to create a high performance, flexible, foldable solution for
space-constrained systems. The low profile, lightweight design
virtually eliminates high-frequency resonance, allowing the cable to
fold and bend with minimal to no impact on performance. SFP+
cable's very small bend radius enables efficient routing in tight spaces
to achieve even greater density and help improve airflow. Capable of
achieving transmission rates up to 10 Gbps per channel for up to 5
meters, the 3M SFP+ Twin Axial Cable Assemblies are well-suited
for telecommunications, high capacity I/O storage, networking,
high-bandwidth switches, routers, & server, and Network Interference
Cards (NICs) applications.
Features
-
Designed using highly-flexible, high-performance 3M Twin Axial Cable technology
-
Up to 10 Gbps per channel transmission up to 5 meters
-
Compatible with standard SFP/SFP+ interface
-
Designed to meet the following industry standard protocols:
-
SFF-8431
-
