3M™ Twin Axial Cable has a unique continuously
laminated shield
3M employs a unique precision-formed continuously laminated
shield over entire cable, to deliver:
• Precision and control
• Thinness & flexibility
• Creasability without loss of performance
Competition uses spiral/longitudinal wrapped shield around individual
pairs, optionally further laminated together:
• Thicker, less flexible
• Performance degrades in tight bends

Valuable attributes are provided by the unique construction
Electrical Performance
• High Bandwidth - resonance-free beyond 20 GHz
• Excellent SCD21 & skew
Thin and Foldable
• Allows cable to be run through “non useable” space
• Can be oriented to avoid blocking airflow, increasing cooling efficiency
• Can be folded at very tight bend radii without SI degradation
Improved Terminations
• Ribbon construction fixes locations of signals and grounds
• Efficient termination process with no wire routing errors
• Ribbon construction minimizes termination variability for more
reliable and repeatable processes

Thin and foldable cable benefits for external cabling
Space savings
Tight bends at the connector
With the flat, thin cable construction, 3M™ Twin
Axial Cable helps to provide space savings.
With the foldable cable construction, 3M Twin Axial
Cable is able to make tight bends at the connector
Illustrating the difference in space saving, a bundle
of 80 - 30AWG SFP+ cables is compared – 3M Twin
Axial Cable versus traditional round cable.
For SFP+ and QSFP+ at the connector:
• Minimum bend space up/down is 6mm
• Minimum bend space left/right is 9mm
25% savings of cross-sectional space
3M 4x20 stack
1200 mm2
Traditional bundle
1605 mm2
SFP28 bend at
connector:
Small bend radius
3M™ QSFP+ Twin Axial Cable Assemblies have a
smaller bend radius than traditional twin axial cable
assemblies.
When managing cables in the rack, this allows for
efficient routing of cables with tight bends and folds
to minimize obstructions to airflow and allow for
better access to ports.
