3M files patent infringement lawsuit against Amphenol

The suit alleges that certain Amphenol data transmission cable products infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,933,333 titled "Shielded Electrical Cable," and U.S. Patent No. 9,601,236 titled “Shielded Electrical Cable.” 3M’s high-speed data transmission cables, including the 3MTM Twin Axial Cable, improve the reliability and efficiency of energy delivery in high-performance computing environments. The 3MTM Twin Axial Cable features a thin, foldable design that takes up less space inside dense server systems, allowing for maximum design flexibility while maintaining signal fidelity at high-speed data rates. Amphenol has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
