Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies deliver high performance with proven cable technology and connector termination expertise High-performance, Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies replace stiff and difficult-to-install semi-rigid assemblies. Constructed from Temp-Flex coaxial cables and Molex RF connectors, the Flexible Microwave Cables offer excellent electrical properties and are assembled using proprietary techniques to minimize Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and insertion loss for the ideal cable and connector combination. The cables come standard with silver-plated conductors, fluoropolymer (PFA) dielectric, double shields and FEP jacket. The solid-core low-loss cables use proprietary low-loss PFA dielectric with 70% velocity of propagation (VoP). The air-dielectric ultra-low-loss cables use a unique air-enhanced design with up to 87% VoP. Connector options include SMA, 2.92mm, SMP, SMPM and many others. Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies with Temp-Flex Solid-Core Low-Loss and Air-Dielectric Ultra-Low-Loss Cables Features and Benefits Solid-core low-loss fluoropolymer (PFA) Provides assemblies with low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) Cable impedance of 50 1 Ohms Provides consistent electrical performance Dual shielded using helically wrapped foil covered by a braided shield Delivers excellent shielding effectiveness greater than 100 dB Propriety air-dielectric, ultralow-loss connector-to-cable termination expertise Ensures optimized cable assembly performance Air-dielectric, ultralow-loss assemblies Used for assemblies with lowest possible attenuation Ordering Information Temp-Flex Cable Performance Characteristics* Cable Part No.* Impedance (Ohms) VOP (%) Capacitance 100067-1047 100067-1086 70 29 pF/ft 100067-1141 100054-0007 Static Bend Radius (min.)
