New space-saving coaxial cable makes routing in medical and imaging devices easier

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. This micro coax cable is now available from Aerco. The cable is available in a full range of standard sizes from 50AWG to 32AWG and features stranded conductors made from high strength silver-plated or silver copper alloys for increased flexibility. To cope with demanding environments, the cable is insulated with a white PFA dielectric jacket, which provides excellent signal integrity, low capacitance and consistent controlled impedance (50ohm 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.
