Pasternack Enterprises, Inc., a supplier of supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released a new line of armored SMA and Type-N test cables designed to operate in harsh industrial environments common in production test systems and antenna ranges.
The new SMA and N-Type armored test cables are manufactured with flexible but rugged stainless steel designed to maintain RF signal integrity during test, even when exposed to high traffic production environments, and robust mechanical connector/armoring interface and strain relief boot to increase overall test cable durability and life. The SMA is designed to operate to 20 GHz and the N-connector to 18 GHz.
“Production testing is a harsh environment that demands tough and durable test equipment and reliable measurement capabilities,” Gerry Camacho, vice president of technical marketing at Pasternack Enterprises, said. “Pasternack’s new armored assemblies provide a low loss, precision cable that will handle continual cycling with abrasion and crush resistance in punishing test conditions.”
