Fabrication and Reliability Study of Twinax Pairs with Dual Longitudinal Balanced Shields
Abstract— This manuscript provides a fabrication process of a new type of twinax pairs with dual longitudinal balanced shields and twinax cables comprising this type of twinax pairs, and investigates the environmental and mechanical reliability of the twinax pairs. Single 30 AWG twinax pairs and twinax cables comprising 30AWG twinax pairs are fabricated for research purposes. Signal integration tests are conducted before, during, and after environmental and mechanical conditionings, including temperature cycling, temperature and humidity cycling, flexibility cycling, and static bending. Consistent insertion loss before, during, and after the conditionings indicates that the single twinax pairs and the twinax pairs in the twinax cables fabricated in this work exhibit robust environmental and mechanical reliability.
Index Terms— twinax pair, twinax cable, QSFP cable, environmental reliability, mechanical reliability.
