New cable configuration combines noise reduction, flexibility and compact design for nanometer-scale positioning and sensing applications

November 9th, 2026 – Booth C1505 - Junkosha, a specialist in advanced cable solutions for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, has launched its advanced noise resistance solution – a new addition to its Junkosha® Super Low Outgassing Cable portfolio designed for semiconductor equipment applications – at SEMICON Europa 2026, which takes place from November 10 - 13 at the Messe München Center in Munich, Germany. The cable uses a tightly controlled twisted-pair construction to help reduce susceptibility to external electromagnetic noise and support signal integrity while maintaining the flexibility required in positioning and sensing systems exposed to vibration. IIt will be showcased alongside the new 1 mm pitch Junkosha Super Low Outgassing Cable configuration1; a vital component in equipment with ultra-high vacuum chambers.

Semiconductor manufacturing equipment requires cabling that can maintain signal integrity and accommodate vibration while fitting into increasingly compact assemblies. Junkosha’s advanced noise resistance solution is designed to help reduce the coupling of electromagnetic noise, minimizing induced noise while maintaining a small diameter. The cable is designed for semiconductor equipment manufacturers and suppliers of positioning and sensing systems used in semiconductor manufacturing. Its compact construction is designed to meet space constraints while providing the flexibility needed in applications where vibration can affect signal transmission.

To achieve this Junkosha developed specialized production equipment to manufacture the cable’s tightly controlled twist construction. To avoid noise-related signal disruptions, maintaining a firm and consistent twist pitch is necessary because looser twists are more susceptible to electromagnetic interference, potentially leading to signal errors. The design helps cancel induced noise between the twisted conductors, supporting signal integrity without relying solely on thicker shielding. The advanced noise resistance solution launch adds a differentiated offering to the Super Low Outgassing Cable portfolio, expanding Junkosha’s offering for semiconductor equipment applications where demand for lead wires in position sensing, detection and weighing equipment builds up steadily.

Jason Davis, New Business Development for Junkosha explains: “We believe the product offers a distinctive option in the vacuum-cabling market. Semiconductor equipment applications house dense networks of high-power switching supplies, servo drive systems, RF generators and plasma power systems that radiate heavy electromagnetic noise. Shielded, twisted-pair or specialized low-noise cables help reduce the coupling of this noise into sensitive sensor, data and control lines. Additionally, equipment must run continuously through millions of bending cycles without degrading signal paths or shedding particles. Our specialized cables combine mechanical flexibility and low outgassing with electromagnetic interference shielding to help reduce susceptibility to electromagnetic noise and support signal integrity.”

Ever-shrinking chip features have brought about the need for more stringent outcomes, necessitating new equipment with highly controlled environments to minimize contamination of sensitive machine components. In answer to these requirements, Junkosha has launched an expanded portfolio of high quality cable products with extremely low outgassing and low particulation characteristics including its new Super Low Outgassing Cable configurations.

Junkosha is providing visitors to its SEMICON Europa booth (#C1505) information around a wide range of the company’s innovative semiconductor solutions of high flex and vacuum compatible cable products including the new advanced noise resistance solution.
