Amphenol Spectra-Strip’s family of standard high frequency SkewClear^® precision twinaxial cables are designed to comply with higher frequency data center applications such as SFP+, QSFP+, CXP, InfiniBand FDR, and Mini-SAS HD for SAS 3.0.  More Info

EXD is the next generation solution for applications such as SFP+, 40GBASE-CR4, 100GBASE-CR10, and EDR InfiniBand, where the periodic structure of traditional spiral shield constructions in the twinax pair shield design causes a resonance of attenuation response at high frequency.  More Info

Spectra-Strip’s new family of extended frequency “EXF” SkewClear ® high precision cable is designed for high frequency applications such as InfiniBand, PCI Express, 10 / 40 / 100Gb Ethernet and SAS. Precision dielectric extrusion, pair shielding, and cabling are key elements necessary for consistent performance. As a result, one of the biggest technical challenges that confronts any cable manufacturer is tight attenuation “grouping”, i.e., how consistent all the pairs in the cable are relative to each other.  More Info

Spectra-Strip’s family of 85, 92, and 100 ohm laminated flat SkewClear ® high precision cables are optimized to provide internal connectivity for 12Gb and 24 Gb SAS and PCIe applications. All cables are built with dual drain wire configurations, providing maximum crosstalk isolation at the connector termination. In addition, they are all built with rugged solid polyolefin dielectric to resist crushing and impedance degradation when cables are bent and folded tightly upon themselves.

The OptiClear series is a family of internal SAS cables optimized for termination to SFF 8484 and SFF 8087 connectors. The cables are available in 30 and 28 AWG 100 ohm precision twinaxial constructions, with 30 or 28 AWG sideband signals. The unique OptiClear ™ construction has a thin, double layer heat sealed polyester jacket in lieu of traditional thick and bulky PVC jackets.

Spectra-Strip’s family of Low Smoke / Halogen Free SkewClear® high precision cable is ideal for use in closed environments where ventilation is poor, such as subways, elevators, and ships. It is designed to reduce the generation of toxic and corrosive gases that are emitted from typical PVC insulated cables during combustion. These gases can injure personnel...

Single pair SkewClear cables are typically used for short length / high frequency applications inside a cabinet where space and cable flexibility limitations prohibit the use of more traditional overall shielded and jacketed cable bundles. Our precision SkewClear cables are made with the same pairs that are found in our more familiar jacketed external cables. They are available in standard, EXF (EXtended Frequency) and EXD (EXtended Distance) performance specifications, with a number of drain wire orientations to suit the application.

Spectra-Strip has an extremely broad range of flat and round cables designed to fit mass termination connectors in low and mid frequency applications. They are available in twisted pair, coaxial, zip, halogen free, round and flat, shielded and jacketed, and many other custom composites.

Amphenol Spectra-Strip’s family of rugged 10Gb industrial Ethernet halogen free “ISS” high precision cables use the same core 100 ohm SkewClear ® shielded parallel pair technology that Spectra-Strip pioneered for the past 15 years in multi-gigabit applications such as InfiniBand, SAS, and IEEE 100Gb, but instead with highly stranded conductors for compatibility with industrial grade crimp cylindrical connectors. Additionally, they also utilize rugged halogen free polyethylene or polyurethane outer jackets where cables are expected to perform in high flex environments and be subjected to heavy mechanical abuse while maintaining 10Gb signal integrity.  More Info
