Use Case: Quantum Computing
Radiocomm offers three types of cable assemblies that can be used for each of the temperature 'tier' requirements found in a quantum computer system. Niobium-titanium (Niob-Titan) alloy cable assemblies can support the 'ultra-harsh' cold environments while the Aluminum alloy assemblies are only suitable for the 'warmest' of the three temperature tiers:
