The Most Flexible Small Diameter RF Cable on the Market
FEATURES
Standard and custom cable options, including SMA, BMA, 2.92 mm, SMP, SMPM, SMPS connectors
Three unique cable solutions available:
•
Standard Fl extra - Flexible replacement for Ø.047” semi-rigid
•
Rapid Flextra - Lowest loss Ø.047” flex cable on the market
•
Ultra Flextra - The most flexible Ø.047” flex cable on the market
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
Inside-the-box short cable runs where space is at a premium and tight bends are required
High frequency applications (up to 100 GHz)
Dynamic applications requiring low flex resistance
BENEFITS
•
•
•
The most flexible cable options available with proven performance at < 0.125” bend radius
Low solder wicking and high flexibility allows for tight bends behind the cable ferrule
High flex-life ensures excellent performance after repeated usage
