Temp-Flex Foam- and Solid-Core Flexible Microwave Cable provide both customized and off-the-shelf cabling options for data center, telecommunications/networking, medical and aerospace industries
Foam-Core Ultra-Low-Loss Coaxial Microwave Cable
Temp-Flex Foam-Core Low-Loss Flexible Microwave Cable combines space savings with an effective dielectric that eliminates “phase knee” and provides ease of termination. Customers will find that this rugged cable is able to withstand harsh environments at high frequencies while providing high performance.
Solid-Core Flexible Low-Loss Microwave Coaxial Cable
Temp-Flex Solid-Core Flexible Microwave Cable, with solid fluoropolymer (PFA, FEP) insulation delivers phase-stable performance at a range of temperatures while attaining competitive loss characteristics as compared with PTFE. The advantage of PFA and FEP is the elimination of the phase knee at room temperature. Therefore, the cable’s performance is more phase stable during temperature swings.
Foam- and solid-core versions
Both the foam- and solid-core versions offer standard sizes down to a 1.194mm shield OD, making them ideal for applications with rigid space limitations. The compactness of these microwave cables will help mitigate space constraints and facilitate design flexibility.
Medical, test and measurement, and aerospace and defense industries require cables that are reliable in harsh environments and are easy to terminate. Microwave cables with ePTFE insulation achieve minimal-loss characteristics, but these cables experience a phase-knee effect at room temperature, meaning environments with temperature swings can affect cable performance.
