High frequency cable has more stringent requirements on load and deformation than ordinary copper wire. In order to achieve the required performance, it is necessary to use the correct method and maintain and test with professional equipment. This article briefly describes how to use the Rothenberg HFM® (High Speed Fakra Mini) cable assembly. The purpose of this article is to explain the precautions during installation and use, and to avoid wrong operation.
The installation of connectors and cable components involves the insertion and removal of the cable components and connectors at the board end, as well as the arrangement of cable harnesses. Improper operations may damage some components or cause abnormal signal transmission. The following figure illustrates the precautions for installing the four-chamber HFM® connector and cable assembly
As shown in the figure above, the key points for installation are as follows:
1. Avoid twisting the cable at the root of the connector.
2. Avoid holding the cable in hand, and should hold the plastic case in hand;
3. Do not bend the cable at a 90-degree Angle at the connector root. Bend the cable to meet the minimum bending radius.
4. Avoid wrapping the cable ties close to the connector root. The starting position of the cable ties should be at least 10cm away from the connector.
When a cable needs to be bent to 180 degrees, do not bind it close to the bent part.
Correct operation:
1. First of all, 180° bending is not recommended.
2. If 180° bending arrangement cannot be avoided, pay attention to the starting position of binding and avoid the bending position, so as not to cause stress concentration in the bending position.
Standard operation can avoid the occurrence of some abnormal situations, I hope you can pay attention to these in the operation process.
