3M™ Pleated Foil Shielded Cable
.025″ 30 AWG Solid, TPE Primary, PVC Jacket 90101 Series
• Compatible with IDC mass termination
connectors
• Functions with applications requiring standard
impedance of 100 Ω balanced (differential)
• Extremely low crosstalk, used in the all-signal
mode to quadruple signal density as compared to
standard .050 inch flat ribbon cable
• Solid pleated copper foil provides flexibility and
35 db average shielding effectiveness
• CL2 rated, rugged design and high reliability
for peripheral applications
• RoHS* Compliant
