Amphenol Announces SKEWCLEAR Serial ATA Copper Cable.Business Editors & Hihg-Tech Writers HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2001 Amphenol Spectra-Strip (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : APH APH American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. APH Actual Production History APH Association of Personal Historians APH Antepartum Hemorrhage APH A Pleasurable Headache (Matthew Good Band community) ), the leading provider of high bandwidth copper interconnects for emerging next generation storage networks, has announced the sampling availability of its new high bandwidth SKEWCLEAR(R) family of flexible Serial ATA cables for the PC industry. Cables consist of two, 26 AWG (American Wiring Gauge) A U.S. measurement standard of the diameter of non-ferrous wire, which includes copper and aluminum. In general, the thicker the wire, the greater the current-carrying capacity and the longer the distance it can span. 100 ohm ohm (ōm) [for G. S. Ohm], unit of electrical resistance, defined as the resistance in a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt creates a current of one ampere; hence, 1 ohm equals 1 volt/ampere. shielded parallel pairs, with a flexible PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. jacket for easy cable routing and maximum airflow within the PC chassis. Each data pair has two drain wires at the outside of the pair for quick shield termination per the SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. specification pin-out. "One of the drivers behind the Serial ATA specification has been the industry frustration with the existing 80 conductor parallel cables", said Carl Booth, Director of Spectra-Strip Product Development. "Not only are they limited in bandwidth, but their size causes significant packaging work-arounds when they have to be routed through a busy PC chassis. Airflow and thermal issues are another problem. The SKEWCLEAR Serial ATA cable addresses these issues with a much smaller, flexible flat cable that features two precision, low skew (1) The misalignment of a document or punch card in the feed tray or hopper that prohibits it from being scanned or read properly.
