Thin, lightweight and flexible this coax makes handling PC boards easy yet does not compromise RF stability and isolation. Using Times' proprietary TF-4 dielectric SilverLine(R)-XF goes one step further, exhibiting linear phase change from 0C to +30C (see graph). Test fixture photo courtesy of Inter-Continental Microwave www.icmicrowave.com SilverLine(R)-XF uses the same robust, proven connector attachment system that has made SilverLine(R) the preferred choice in RF test labs everywhere. A new injection-molded strain relief system designed to match the cable's flexibility assures the cable will bend tightly but not fail prematurely behind the connector. * Popular Lengths & Configurations in Stock (visit timesmicrowave.com/silverline-products/) Silverline-XF_Silverline 041594 3/3/2016 2:52 PM Page 2 SilverLine (R) -XF Mechanical Specifications Dimensions Cable Jacket Outer Shield in mm Outside Diameter 0.150 3.80 Minimum Bend Radius 0.75 19 Mating Life Cycle Temperature Range Interlayer Inner Shield Dielectric Inner Conductor >5000* -67/+185C (HT = +257F) -55/+85C (HT = +125C) Electrical Specifications VSWR through 18 GHz Impedance 1.25:1 typ, 1.30:1 max 50 Ohms Velocity of Propagation 70% Shielding Effectiveness >100 dB Capacitance Phase Stability ** (75,000 cycles) Cable Construction Inner Conductor: Solid silverplated copper clad steel 28.8 pf/ft (94.4 pf/m) +/-3 @ 18 GHz Attenuation, max @77F (25C) Frequency (GHz) Dielectric: Solid TF-4 Shield: Silver-plated copper flat ribbon braid, aluminumpolyimide tape interlayer, silver-plated copper round wire braid, (90%k) Jacket: Clear polyurethane (HT version = FEP) dB/100 ft (dB/100 m) 1 16 (52) 2 24 (79) 6 12 43 64 (141) (210) 18 81 (257) Attenuation at any frequency formula: 0.49656*f + 0.0007989*f (f=freq in MHz) Connectors: - Stainless steel - Solder/Clamp attachment - Captive contact construction * Mating life assumes the use of a calibrated torque wrench, interfaces are clean and within mil specs limits.
