New line of skew matched cables

Jon Lawson

Pasternack has launched a new line of skew matched cables for use in high-speed digital tests of 10 Gbps to 28 Gbps, including differential signals, bit-error-rate testing and eye diagrams.   

The new line is made-up of three new models that are extremely flexible and have 1 ps delay match. These cables deliver VSWR of 1.4:1 and are 100% tested for skew match. They also include polarity indicators and restraint bands to keep themselves paired up.

They have a frequency range of DC to 40 GHz, covering two channels with 50 Ohms nominal impedance. They are made of microporous PTFE cable dielectric and feature triple-shielded outer conductors, 2.92mm male connectors and finger-grip coupling nuts. They are ideal for networking, semiconductor test and supercomputing industries where skew match is important.
