Eye Speed® cable

Samtec’s Eye Speed® cable technology supports extreme density and performance for next generation systems when used in conjunction with our high-performance connectors to create Flyover® solutions that provide signal integrity and thermal improvements.

Eye Speed® Cable Technology includes 4 varieties: Samtec’s original ultra low skew Twinax with 3.5 ps/meter max intra-pair skew and perfect intra-pair sequencing, Thinax™ with a 40-percent smaller cross-sectional area, Eye Speed® Hyper Low Skew Twinax at 1.75 ps/meter max, and ThinSE™ 50 Ohm micro coax with a small .024" outer cable diameter.

Features

Eye Speed® Twinax

Ultra low skew: 3.5 ps/meter max
28 - 36 AWG cable
Ideal for 112 Gbps PAM4 applications: improved bandwidth and reach
Co-extruded: tight coupling between signal conductors
Impedance control and perfect intra-pair sequencing
Impedance (Ω): 92, 85 or 100

Eye Speed Thinax™

40% smaller cross-sectional area versus Eye Speed® Twinax
34 AWG cable
Reduction in overall weight and maximizes air flow
Easy to route through systems
Ultra low skew: 3.5 ps/meter max
Impedance (Ω): 92

Eye Speed® Hyper Low Skew Twinax

Hyper low skew: 1.75 ps/meter max
32 AWG cable
27 AWG Eye Speed® Hyper Low Skew Twinax in development
Ideal for 224 Gbps PAM4 applications: improved bandwidth, reach and density
Insertion Loss: 14.3 dB (1m length at 56 GHz)
Easy to route through systems
Impedance (Ω): 92

Eye Speed ThinSE™

32 & 34 AWG cable
Small .024” outer diameter cable for 34 AWG variant
Min. bend radius: 0.125-inch (one-time bend)
Supports single-ended and mixed signaling (-DP & -SE) of Samtec high-performance cable assemblies
Impedance (Ω): 50g
