Cable description
SSAT™
Jacketing
SSAT™ (Smart Skin Array Technology)
utilizes a patented cable design manufactured by PATSI. The
exceptional, robust cable protection is provided by a fiberglass matrix
and a polymer encasement as an additional protective layer giving optimal
flexibility, impact resistance and ruggedness.

Ask
about different applications which call for variable cable widths
and channels. Specify application, cable width, and channel numbers
desired. |
Ask
about different applications which call for variable cable widths and
channels. Please specify both application, cable width, and channel
numbers desired.
SFF
Connectors
The plug & play connectors used on these cable assemblies come
in two varieties at this time: SMP form fit connectors for the Paroli™
device and MT form fit connectors. Both connector types utilizing the
MT ferrule. Both have a custom designed strain relief to accommodate
the innovative PATSI cabling.
Other
Connectors for Higher Density Products
We
utilize
our own ferrules, ceramic or MT type, in our unique housings. All are
oriented to provide a plug and play environment to the customer.
Special
Applications
We are an OEM supplier of low skew, high bandwidth optical interconnects.
We work with engineering organizations to provide the best product for
their specific application.
