3M High-speed cable assemblies are essential for the efficient operation of systems that process large volumes of data. 3M has the cabling solutions for high-performance computing, routers, storage and switches you need to connect devices with the latest industry standard physical interfaces.
The 3M portfolio contains 3M™ Twin Axial Cable technology which is highly routable, foldable, flexible. The low-profile ribbon cable allows more routing options within a case, and enables many packaging configurations. It's foldable ribbon construction allows for extremely tight bend radii with minimal performance impact.
Beside cable assemblies for high speed applications 3M offers several board mount connectors with compact design to conserve board space and provide optimal value to customers.
