3M™ Twix Axial Cable Assemblies for QSFP+ Applications 9Q Series are a high-speed, cost-effective alternative to optical solutions. These cable assemblies feature highly foldable and bendable twinax cable that adds versatility and functionality to applications meeting SFF-8436 QSFP+ standards, delivering aggregate data bandwidth of 40Gbps (10 Gbps across four lanes). Cable can be folded and bent to fit small spaces with little to no signal loss.
Featuring 3M™ Twin Axial Cable technology, 3M™ Twin Axial Cable Assemblies for QSFP+ Applications, 9Q Series is excellent for adding design flexibility to high-speed systems. The assembly incorporates foldable, flexible flat cable that can be folded back on itself with extremely tight bend radii for compact designs. Precision-formed, continuously laminated shielding helps maintain resonance-free signal integrity.
