Twinaxial cabling

Twinaxial plug (style used by IBM;[1] other designs exist[2])

Twinaxial cabling, or twinax, is a type of cable similar to coaxial cable, but with two inner conductors in a twisted pair instead of one.[3] Due to cost efficiency it is becoming common in modern (2013) very-short-range high-speed differential signaling applications.
