128 Core Low Capacitance Medical Ultrasound Cable Assembly

Product Overview

The 128 Core Low Capacitance Medical Ultrasound Cable Assembly is a high-density cable solution designed for ultrasound probes, medical imaging systems and other applications where signal transmission performance and cable capacitance are important.

The cable uses a high-density 128-core configuration while maintaining a compact cable structure. Its low-capacitance design is intended for applications where minimizing the electrical loading of the cable is important for overall system performance.

This type of cable is particularly suitable for high-channel-count ultrasound and medical imaging applications where cable construction must balance channel density, electrical characteristics, flexibility and physical dimensions.

Engineering & Procurement Considerations for 128-Core Ultrasound Cables

Selecting a high-density medical ultrasound cable involves more than choosing the required number of cores. Cable capacitance, conductor configuration, cable diameter, shielding, flexibility, connector configuration and probe structure may all need to be considered together.

For custom ultrasound cable projects, HOTTEN works with customers to evaluate these electrical and mechanical requirements and develop cable assemblies according to the specific probe and imaging system.

1. Why does core count matter in a medical ultrasound cable?

Core count is closely related to the number of electrical channels that need to be connected between the ultrasound probe and the imaging system. A higher channel count can support more complex probe configurations, but it also increases the challenges of fitting conductors, insulation, shielding and protective structures into a compact cable.

For this reason, core count should be considered together with cable diameter, electrical characteristics, flexibility and the available installation space. A 128-core configuration provides a high-density solution for applications where multiple signal channels must be integrated into a compact ultrasound cable assembly.

2. How does cable capacitance affect ultrasound cable design?

Cable capacitance is an important electrical characteristic in signal-sensitive ultrasound applications. The cable forms part of the electrical signal path between the probe and the imaging equipment, so its electrical characteristics need to be considered together with the requirements of the overall system.

Capacitance can be influenced by factors such as conductor arrangement, insulation structure, cable geometry and cable length. Therefore, a low-capacitance ultrasound cable should not be evaluated only by its nominal capacitance value. The cable structure should also be developed according to the required electrical performance, physical dimensions and probe design.

3. How should engineers choose between a 128-core and 195-core ultrasound cable?

The appropriate core count depends on the architecture and channel requirements of the ultrasound probe rather than simply choosing the higher number of cores.

A 128-core cable can be suitable for probe and imaging applications requiring high channel density while maintaining a relatively compact cable structure. A 195-core configuration may be considered when the system requires a higher number of signal channels or a different high-density cable architecture.

When comparing different core counts, engineers should evaluate channel requirements together with capacitance, conductor size, cable diameter, flexibility, shielding, connector configuration and available installation space.

4. What specifications should engineers define before developing a custom ultrasound cable?

A custom ultrasound cable should be defined from both electrical and mechanical requirements. Important information may include core count, conductor size, capacitance requirements, cable diameter, cable length, shielding structure, connector type, pin assignment and bending requirements.

For probe development projects, additional information such as a cable drawing, probe drawing, connector part number, electrical specification or existing cable sample can help the cable manufacturer evaluate the required construction more accurately.

If some specifications are not yet finalized, HOTTEN can review the available project information and discuss the cable structure with the customer during the engineering development stage.

5. How do cable diameter and flexibility affect ultrasound probe design?

Ultrasound probe cables often need to fit within limited mechanical spaces and follow defined routing paths. Cable diameter and flexibility therefore need to be considered together with the internal structure of the probe.

A high-density cable must accommodate multiple conductors and other cable structures while maintaining the required physical dimensions and flexibility. Excessive cable size may create routing or packaging challenges, while insufficient mechanical flexibility may affect cable handling and installation.

For this reason, cable diameter, conductor arrangement, shielding, insulation and protective structure should be evaluated as part of the complete cable design rather than independently.

6. What should buyers evaluate when sourcing a custom ultrasound cable assembly?

When sourcing a custom medical ultrasound cable, buyers should evaluate more than unit price. The supplier should be able to understand the electrical, mechanical and assembly requirements of the application and translate them into a manufacturable cable structure.

Key evaluation factors may include:

• Experience with high-density medical cable assemblies

• Capability for fine-wire and compact cable construction

• Ability to meet specified electrical characteristics

• Connector and pin-assignment customization

• Prototype and sample development

• Engineering support during product development

• Quality management and applicable compliance requirements

• Capability to move from prototype to volume production

• Communication and support for custom OEM projects

For projects with complex ultrasound probe requirements, providing the supplier with drawings, samples and electrical specifications at an early stage can help reduce development uncertainty and improve the efficiency of the quotation and engineering process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a low-capacitance ultrasound cable?

A low-capacitance ultrasound cable is designed to reduce the electrical capacitance associated with the cable. This can be important in signal-sensitive ultrasound and medical imaging applications where cable electrical characteristics need to be controlled.
