C.Woody, HBD Safety Review, 9/15/0521 S-S+G S- Signal arrangement Use 2MM Hard Metric cable to move signals between preamp/FEM 2mm HM connector has 5 pins per row and 2mm spacing between pins and rows There are two types of cable configuration: *100 ohms parallel shielded cable 50 ohms coaxial cable Our choice is This gives us signal density 2mm x 10mm for every 2 signals. Same type of cables will be used for L1 trigger data. C-Y. Chi
