ParaLink® cable assemblies for CX4 applications
ParaLink® L45468-G16-C5 for fiber channel applications

ParaLink®

The ParaLink® series of individually shielded precision parallel pair cables has been specially designed for all cases, where exceptionally high signal integrity is the crucial factor for the functionality of the interface.

Precise shielding and cabling processes result in the best possible alternative to fiber optic I/O available on the market today.

The eye-opening benefits of ParaLink® include:

  • Exceptionally low insertion loss, generally up to 10 % lower than that of com-mon industrial dielectric insulation [more...]
  • A special dielectric system ensures minimal dielectric losses
  • ParaLink® comes with an optimized conductor silver plating thickness to mini-mize losses contributing to skin effect
  • Excellent impedance tolerances +/- 5 Ohm, eliminating impedance mismatch in interconnect paths [more...]
  • Superior control of amplitude skew (difference in insertion loss from pair to pair), guarantees homogenous transmission in multi-channel applications [more...]
  • Exceptionally low skew within the pair is ensured by our unique pair-shielding techniques and by the positive characteristics of our dielectric system; within pair skew is generally less than 1 ps/ft (3 ps/m), thus minimizing jitter and resulting timing constraints in the system architecture [more...]
  • Extremely low pair to pair skew, generally less than 5 ps/ft 15 ps/m
  • Unprecedented NEXT/Crosstalk performance due to excellent cable balance and the unique shielding techniques of the parallel pair – maximizing the Signal to Noise Ratio [more...]
  • Color-coded pairs for easy cable management during assembly [more...]
  • Locking pair shielding ensures that the signal ground is intact through the ent-ire interconnect path, e.g. in connectors – thus minimizing signal integrity degrada-tion during assembly and termination [more...]
  • Low EMI/EMC due to optimized dual-shielding technology allows absolute control of emissions for a given frequency
  • Our special jacket system is halogen free and rated with all international fire agencies including UL, CSA Cenelec/IEC
  • With the extreme durability of our special materials and its unique cable geo-metry the ParaLink® cable series can bear up against extreme flexure and small bend radii – which simplifies cable management and standard industry installation practices [more...]
  • ParaLink® cable geometries allow high electronic packaging densities. ParaLink® cables measure approximately 20 % less in diameter than most cable de-signs available (with equivalent number of pairs and AWG size) [more...]
  • Modern ParaLink® packaging technologies eliminate “pistoning” of individual pairs with continued flexes – thus preventing mechanical stress on the termination point in the connector [more...]
