Technical Advantages for Ultrasound Engineering
1. Why 50pF/m Low Capacitance Matters in Ultrasound Imaging?
In high-frequency medical ultrasound applications (especially those operating above 10 MHz, such as vascular studies or musculoskeletal imaging), signal attenuation and phase delay are critical challenges. Our 50pF/m low capacitance coaxial cable significantly reduces high-frequency signal distortion. By clamping the capacitance down to 50pF/m, it guarantees a clean, high-SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) echo return, which directly improves axial and lateral resolution on the ultrasound monitor.
2. Micro 44AWG Conductor with 208-Core Ultra-High Density
Modern 3D/4D imaging probes require massive channel counts packed into extremely narrow handpiece housings. Using ultra-fine 44AWG silver-plated copper alloy, we successfully bundle 208 independent coaxial channels into a slim 8.3mm outer diameter. The silver plating minimizes skin-effect losses at megahertz frequencies, while the micro-gauge architecture delivers the incredible ergonomics, extreme bend radius, and light weight required for repetitive clinical scanning.
3. Advanced EMI/RFI Shielding for Complex Clinical Environments
To protect the ultra-weak echo signals from surrounding hospital noise (such as ventilators or electrosurgical units), this 208-core probe cable incorporates a heavy-duty non-magnetic braided shield. This provides exceptional electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), eliminating artifacts and maintaining absolute clarity in complex clinical environments.
4. Optimized Impedance Matching for Global Ultrasound Platforms
Achieving a stable characteristic impedance of 85 ± 3 Ω is a major milestone for high-density probe manufacturing. This premium 208-core 44AWG coaxial bundle is engineered to deliver flawless impedance matching across a wide array of universal ultrasound diagnostic carts and portable systems. By eliminating signal reflection at the cable-to-board interface, our design minimizes insertion loss, making it an ideal bulk cable choice for medical device repair facilities and third-party transducer maintenance organizations worldwide.
FAQ about this 208-Core Ultrasound Cable
Can this cable be customized for portable or handheld ultrasound devices?
Yes. Thanks to the 44AWG micro-coaxial structure and thin-wall jacket extrusion, the overall cable is lightweight and highly flexible, making it ideal for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and handheld devices where cable drag must be minimized.
Do you provide custom terminations or PCB soldering for this probe cable?
Yes, we are a professional medical cable manufacturer. We can provide bulk cables or complete ultrasound probe cable assemblies with pre-soldered PCBs and customized strain reliefs tailored to your specific system termination requirements.
