Made with 3M Twin Axial Cable technology, the following external cable assemblies offer an ideal set of benefits for the most
demanding of customers. The core cable technology allows 3M cable assemblies to be extremely low profile and light weight
while virtually eliminating high-frequency resonance, allowing the cable to be folded and bent with minimal to no impact on
performance. Save space, help improve airflow, and operate at up to 56 Gbps.
