3M TwinAx High-Speed Cable Solutions
3M TwinAx High-Speed Cable Solutions offer a thin, low-profile design that allows for more routing options within an enclosure. This portfolio includes both internal I/O and direct attach copper (DAC) solutions that assist servers, switches, storage, and other high-speed equipment in achieving high performance. In addition to the thin, low-profile design, these cable solutions feature foldable ribbon construction that enables a wider variety of packaging configurations than other cabling options without loss in signal integrity performance. 3M TwinAx High-Speed Cable Solutions meet PCIe and Ethernet standards and utilize Twin Axial Cable technology that allows the assembly to bend and fold to fit with a minimal performance impact.
