The Headache of Signal Loss and Interference Stops Here
You know the feeling. You are building a high-tech device—maybe a portable ultrasound machine or a drone communication link. You need to send data fast and clean. But there is a problem. The space inside your device is tiny. Every millimeter counts. You try to use a standard cable, but it is too thick. Or you use a thin wire, and suddenly the signal gets messy. Noise from motors or other circuits messes up your data. The screen flickers. The sensor gives wrong readings. You waste hours fixing errors that should not happen.This is why we built the Imported Single-Core Shielded 0.2 sq mm Sumitomo S-1.5DS-FZT Coaxial Cable. It is not just a wire. It is a solution for engineers who need perfect signal clarity in the smallest spaces. It fixes the noise. It fits in tight spots. It works when other cables fail.
What Makes the S-1.5DS-FZT Special?
This cable comes from Sumitomo Electric, a leader in wire technology. The “S-1.5DS-FZT” model is a star performer for high-speed data transmission. Let’s break down the name so you know exactly what you get.”Single-Core” means it has one main path for the signal. This keeps the design simple and strong. “0.2 sq mm” refers to the conductor size. It is thin, like a human hair, but it carries power and data efficiently. “Shielded” is the key word. This cable has double shielding. We will talk more about that later. “FZT” usually points to a special jacket material that resists heat and chemicals.This is a coaxial cable. This means the inner wire and the outer shield share the same center axis. This design is the gold standard for stopping signal leakage. Whether you are working with aerospace eVTOL systems, satellite communication, or healthcare equipment, this cable keeps the signal pure.
Technical Specifications That Matter
We believe in transparency. You need hard numbers to design your system. Here is the detailed spec sheet for the Sumitomo S-1.5DS-FZT. We built this table so you can compare it side-by-side with your current supplier.
| Parameter | Value | Note for Engineers |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor Size | 0.2 sq mm (approx. AWG 24) | Fine stranded copper for flexibility |
| Impedance | 50 Ω / 75 Ω | Standard for RF and data (customizable) |
| Shielding Type | Double Shield (Braid + Foil) | 100% coverage against EMI |
| Capacitance | ~29 pF/foot | Low capacitance means less signal delay |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (Standard) | Up to 194°C with special insulation |
| Outer Diameter | Ultra-Thin (approx. 1.0 – 1.2 mm) | Fits in micro-coaxial bundles |
| Voltage Rating | 300V | Safe for most low-voltage electronics |
| Insulation | IRRAX™ A / PTFE | Cross-linked for high heat resistance |
| Bend Radius | Very Low | Can bend around sharp corners without breaking |
Note: The exact diameter and weight depend on the specific shielding coverage you choose. The 0.2 sq mm conductor allows for a very small overall cable size, which is critical for micro flex coaxial cables used in laptops and smartphones.
The Power of Double Shielding
Why do you need double shielding? Imagine you are in a crowded room trying to whisper a secret. If people are shouting around you, no one hears you. That is electromagnetic interference (EMI). It comes from motors, power lines, and other electronics.The S-1.5DS-FZT uses a two-layer defense system:
- Inner Layer (Foil): A thin layer of aluminum or copper foil wraps the insulation. It catches high-frequency noise.
- Outer Layer (Braid): A woven mesh of copper wires covers the foil. It catches low-frequency noise and adds physical strength.
This combo gives you shielding effectiveness of over 90 dB at 1 GHz. For context, a standard single-shield cable might only give you 60 dB. That 30 dB difference is huge. It means zero data corruption. It means your industrial automation sensors work perfectly even next to heavy machinery. It means your medical monitor displays a clear image without “snow” or static lines.We use high-quality copper for the braid. Some cheap cables use aluminum-clad steel. Our copper braid is flexible and conducts better. It also makes grounding easier for your installation team.
Built for Extreme Environments
Your cable does not just sit on a desk. It goes places. The Sumitomo S-1.5DS-FZT is built for the real world.Heat Resistance: Inside a server or a car engine, it gets hot. Standard PVC melts or gets brittle. We use IRRAX™ A insulation or PTFE (Teflon). These materials are cross-linked using electron beam technology. This process creates strong bonds between molecules. The cable can handle up to 194°C (381°F) without degrading. It will not crack in freezing cold either.Flexibility: You need to route this cable through tight hinges or robotic arms. A stiff cable breaks. This cable uses a fine-stranded conductor (7 strands or more). Each strand is tiny. This allows the cable to bend thousands of times without fatigue. It is perfect for flexible printed circuits (FPC) replacements or moving parts in robotics.Chemical Resistance: The outer jacket (sheath) protects against oil, acid, and cleaning agents. If you are using this in a factory with hydraulic fluid, the cable will not rot. It is also halogen-free and RoHS compliant. This is a must if you sell to Europe or California.
Where Should You Use This Cable?
This is not a generic wire. It is a precision tool. Here are the top use cases where the 0.2 sq mm Sumitomo S-1.5DS-FZT shines:1. Medical Devices and Healthcare
- Ultrasound Probes: The cable needs to be thin to fit in the probe handle but carry high-frequency data for the image.
- Patient Monitors: Double shielding ensures heart rate and EEG signals are accurate, with no noise from hospital lighting or motors.
- Endoscopic Cameras: Flexibility is key to snake the cable through the body.
2. Aerospace and Drones (eVTOL)
- Satellite Communication: Weight is the enemy in space. This cable is light (approx. 10-15 kg/km) and handles the vacuum and radiation of space.
- Avionics Sensors: It resists vibration and extreme temperature swings (-55°C to +200°C).
- Drone Wiring: Thin and light, it does not weigh down the drone, extending flight time.
3. Industrial Automation and Robotics
- Servo Motors and Encoders: Transmits precise position data without jitter.
- Sensor Networks: Connects hundreds of sensors in a factory without “crosstalk” between wires.
- Traveling Cables: Used in cable chains that move back and forth all day.
4. Consumer Electronics and IT
- Laptops and Tablets: MFCX (Micro Flex Coaxial) technology is used here. A bundle of these wires can be under 3 mm thick but carry 40 Gbps of data.
- 5G Infrastructure: Low loss at high frequencies (up to 12 GHz) makes it great for connecting antennas to processors.
- Flat Panel Displays: Connects the driver board to the screen with minimal signal loss.
Why Buy Imported Sumitomo Instead of Generic?
You might find cheaper cables from local factories. But “cheap” often costs more in the long run.
- Consistency: Sumitomo’s manufacturing tolerance is tight. The impedance is 50Ω ± 1Ω, not 50Ω ± 5Ω. This consistency saves you from tuning your circuits for every single cable.
- Purity: The copper is 99.99% pure. Impurities in cheap copper cause signal loss (attenuation). At high frequencies, this loss adds up fast.
- Longevity: The cross-linked insulation does not melt or deform. A standard cable might last 1 year. This cable lasts 10 years.
- Testing: Every batch is tested for shielding effectiveness and high-voltage breakdown. You get a certificate of conformity.
For a foreign trade cable production enterprise like yours, using Sumitomo raw material or equivalent spec means you can promise your clients “Japanese Quality.” That is a powerful selling point.
How to Order and Customize
We know every project is different. Maybe you need a specific connector on the end. Maybe you need a black jacket instead of grey. Maybe you need a specific length for a harness.We can handle it.
- Connector Processing: We can attach SMP, SMA, or custom high-speed connectors in our factory. We use precision machines to ensure the signal path is not broken at the connection point.
- Harness Assembly: We can bundle multiple S-1.5DS-FZT cables together with a strong outer sheath to make a custom harness.
- Lengths: We cut to length. No waste.
