Low Noise Cables – Custom Solutions for Maintaining Signal Integrity

In many highly sensitive applications, particularly in the fields of medical technology, measurement, and sensor systems, the integrity of low-level signals is of critical importance. Any form of interference or noise can compromise signal quality and, in the worst case, lead to faulty measurements or malfunctions. To address this issue, GREMCO offers low noise cables specifically designed to minimize electromagnetic interference and mechanically induced noise.

Challenges in Signal Transmission

Cable noise becomes especially problematic when conductors are exposed to mechanical stress such as shocks, vibrations, or repeated bending. In such cases, the triboelectric effect may occur: friction and movement between different materials generate an electric charge, which can be released in the form of voltage spikes. These spikes interfere with the useful signal and can significantly degrade its quality.

In addition to the triboelectric effect, cable insulation can act as a capacitor, unintentionally storing electrical charge that is suddenly discharged. This can cause severe disturbances, particularly in highly sensitive measurement systems.

Solutions Through Low Noise Cables

To ensure signal integrity, GREMCO relies on a combination of advanced material technologies and specialized manufacturing techniques:

• Careful Material Selection – Choosing optimal insulation and sheath materials with minimal triboelectric charge generation is essential. Materials such as PTFE or specialized polymer blends can significantly reduce noise.
• Conductive Shielding Layers – The integration of conductive layers, such as metallized fabric or carbon-based materials, effectively dissipates electrical charges before they cause interference.
• Optimized Cable Design – The targeted arrangement of conductors and the use of twisted or coaxial structures help to minimize internal interference.
• Special Extrusion and Manufacturing Processes – Modern production techniques reduce the triboelectric effect during cable manufacturing, ensuring long-term low-noise performance.

Practical Example: GREMCO Low Noise Cables

A prime example of the effective implementation of these technologies is GREMCO’s low noise cables. These specialized cables combine high-performance materials with precision manufacturing to guarantee maximum signal quality. Incorporating conductive layers and optimized insulation techniques offers crucial advantages in demanding applications, such as medical technology and high-precision measurement.
