A medical imaging equipment manufacturer required a customized cable solution for advanced 4K/8K medical imaging applications.
The existing cable design had limitations in signal stability, flexibility, durability and resistance to demanding sterilization conditions. The customer therefore required a new cable structure capable of maintaining reliable high-definition signal transmission while improving mechanical performance and handling characteristics.
The customer required:
The main engineering challenge was to balance high-speed signal transmission, flexibility, durability, cable size and environmental resistance within a reusable medical imaging cable.
A cable structure designed primarily for high-frequency performance may require additional conductor or shielding structures, while a heavily reinforced construction can increase cable diameter and reduce flexibility.
HOTTEN therefore evaluated the conductor, insulation, shielding and outer jacket as an integrated cable structure rather than optimizing a single parameter independently.
Based on HOTTEN's micro coaxial cable manufacturing capability, the engineering team developed a customized cable structure using:
Multiple rounds of material evaluation, process adjustment and performance testing were conducted to identify a suitable combination of conductor, insulation and silicone materials for the application.
The cable structure was then further optimized according to the required flexibility, signal performance, sterilization environment and mechanical handling conditions.
HOTTEN completed the customized cable development and prototype production within 2 months, compared with the customer's original 6-month development expectation.
The resulting cable solution demonstrated:
The project demonstrates HOTTEN's ability to develop customized cable assemblies for demanding medical imaging applications by combining micro coaxial cable technology, material engineering and application-specific cable assembly.
