Pasternack Enterprises, Inc., a manufacturer of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released a new line of flexible 18 GHz low loss test cables.
Measuring just 0.195 inches in diameter, the new assemblies are terminated with durable stainless steel connectors and are well suited for test environments where a rugged, phase stable cable assembly is required. The new coaxial cable assemblies from Pasternack are made with PE-P142LL coax, which operates at higher power with improved phase stability. The double shielded flexible coax provides excellent shielding effectiveness greater than 95 dB and VSWR of less than 1.35:1. A heavy duty boot and FEP jacket improve strain relief and allow for a minimum bend radius of 1 inch, which adds to the durability of these cable assemblies.
The PE-P142LL test cables can be ordered in both custom and standard lengths with male-straight and right angle versions of Type N, SMA, and TNC connectors, as well as female bulkhead versions for each connector series.
“The smaller 0.195″ diameter of these test cables have a tighter bend radius while offering low loss and higher power when compared to solid dielectric cables,” Steve Ellis, Interconnect product manager at Pasternack, said. “These cables offer our customers a high performance solution when choosing a low loss cable assembly.”
