NEWtral® LOW-NOISE CABLES
TECHNICAL
INFORMATION
In
small
signal
applications,
noise-free
transmission
lines
are
necessary to
maintain
signal
integrity.
Simply
flexing
or
twisting
a
traditional
cable
can
generate
voltage
spikes
with
magnitudes
in
the
tens
of
millivolts.
This
noise
is
due
to
triboelectric
charging
of
the
insulator
materials,
which
act
as
capacitors
and
store
the
charge.
The
addition
of
conductive
low-noise
layers
reduces
this
noise
to
the
microvolt
range.
New England Wire Technologies
has
specifically
developed
a
range
of
advanced
low-noise
cables
designed
to
neutralize
noise
generated
by
mechani-
cal
shock
and
vibration
and
maximize
signal
quality.
Typical
applications
include
medical
equipment,
test
and
measurement
equipment,
charge
amplifiers,
vibration
analyzers
and
oscilloscopes.
