Line of flexible 18 GHz low-loss test cables from Pasternack Enterprises Inc., Irvine, Calif., is terminated with durable stainless steel connectors and are well suited for test environments where a rugged, phase stable cable assembly is required.
They use a 0.195-in. diameter coax with an expanded dielectric which results in 83% Velocity of Propagation (VoP) performance up to 18 GHz. These coaxial cable assemblies 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 in. for added durability.
PE-P142LL test cables can be ordered with male-straight and right angle versions of Type N, SMA, and TNC connectors as well as female bulkhead versions for each connector series. They can be ordered in custom lengths and are also available in standard lengths from 12 to 60 in. Metric lengths can be ordered in 50, 100, 150 and 200 cm lengths. Each assembly is 100% continuity, Hi-Pot and RF tested prior to shipment.
