L8620TX provides unusual efficiency and flexibility in thiscoaxial-design cable with the added EMI protection by meansof an isolated second 95%-coverage shield.In triaxial cables, the outer shield is customarily groundedin order to provide a bypass for both induced and electricfield noise currents. Thus EMI is significantly reduced. PICconnectors for PIC cables S86208 and S88207 can beused to terminate the “inner coax” of L8620TX.Triax can also be connected in “driven shield” mode, usingthe center conductor and inner shield connected togetherat the signal end, with the outer shield as a coaxial returnpath. At the receiving end, the inner braid is unconnected,floating, to function as a Faraday shield between the activeconductors, greatly reducing the distributed capacitance inthe cable — and this results in reduced losses and loading.Honeywell has approved L8620TX for use as the 10base2LAN cable in their Apex/Epic system.L8620TX is Skydrol resistant, RoHS compliant and meetsthe FAA flammability requirements of FAR Part 23 and 25,Appendix F; complies with MIL-C-17 as applicable.
