3M 9Q Series Twin Axial Cable Assemblies

3M 9Q Series Twin Axial Cable Assemblies for QSFP+ applications are high-bandwidth transmission cables with a data bandwidth of 40Gbps that fold and bend with minimal impact on performance. These cable assemblies are designed with 3M twin axial cable technology that virtually eliminates high-frequency resonance and allows the cable to be folded and bent with minimal to no performance impact. The 9Q series twin axial cables come with a high-speed and cost-effective alternative to optical solutions. Typical applications include data centers and HPC.
