Additional notes

This cable comprises of a 5 position-1 row female connector at one end and a 4 position-1 row female connector at the other end, connected using a 1530 mm long cable having 4 x 20 AWG, shielded copper conductors which offers good conductivity and high transfer speed. This cable is properly shielded using copper shielding which offers good electromagnetic insulation and high mechanical strength. A 28 mm long ferrite bead with 217 ohms impedance is also provided in the cable which offers very good EMI/RFI shielding. This ferrite core is covered with heat shrink tube and secured the by tie-wraps at both ends. The cable assembly is properly insulated using poly-vinyl chloride jacket which is heat resistant, flame retardant, offers flexibility and have shock absorbing property. For ease of identification the connectors and cable assembly comes with pre-labeled informations regarding the connecting ends. This cable assembly is used to interface the cradle driver of GT2000 N9, GT1700 N9 table assembly of the GE's Computed Tomography (CT) Systems.
