These cables offer an unmatched combination of low loss, flexibility, and low shield resistance. They are ideally suited for ultra-low impedance measurement and maintain flexibility while providing outstanding shielding and 18GHz performance.
The largest source of error in ultra-low impedance measurement is the cable shield resistance, followed by the ground isolator (J2102B). Picotest has optimized both, allowing more accurate measurements well below 100uOhms. The PDN Cable is optimized for PDN measurements but is also highly suited for SI measurements as well.
