Blue Streak-QMA Professional Grade Test Cables and Adaptors Fast, Reliable, Repeatable RF Test Measurements For Hand-Held and Mobile Radios Blue Streak-QMA test cables and adaptors eliminate uncertainties in RF power output and sensitivity measurements associated with BNC adaptors. The system consists of a high frequency, phase stable, QMA-equipped test cable and various mating adaptors designed to fit most manufacturers hand held and mobile radios. The snap-on, pull-off design is extremely secure when o mated. Each half can rotate 360 C relative to its mate yet together they exhibit little or no change in RF performance. Blue Streak test cables have an extra heavy duty connector attachment system and an unparalleled reputation with the largest radio and RF test equipment manufacturers in the world as a very long life, rugged value-priced coax test cable.
