INTRODUCTION
Test Pr
The TestPro product range is dedicated to
Test and measurement applications
requiring excellent electrical performance,
high mechanical endurance and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion. We offer 2 product categories to meet your needs:
• TestPro 4.2
and TestPro 3
« Phase Stable »
are
suitable for test benches in production or labs due to its long life and stab
in dynamic use.
• TestPro 5
&
8 « Ultra low loss »
allow the use of long length cables with remote test stations and anechoic chambers.
Their high stability with temperature makes them easy to use in temperature chambers. They are also suitable for high power
applications.
Our TestPro product range is designed to operate in the DC - 26.5 GHz frequency range depending on connector and cable
choice.
Our
optional protective jacket
“ProJack”
protect lab cable assemblies for greater life time. It is also dedicated
for all defense
systems tests running outdoors.
All components are designed and manufactured by RADIALL in facilities operated under ISO9001-V2000/ASN9100 quality standards.

CABLE DESIGN and MANUFACTURING
DESIGN
The TestPro cable range benefits from Radiall’s 30 years of experience in manufacturing high tech microwave cables for the
military and aerospace markets. TestPro cables were designed to meet test and measurement specific requirements.
Radiall manufactures its own cable using proprietary braiding machines. Low density PTFE tape wrapping is the heart of our
process. It elevates our Ultra Low Loss TestPro cable to a position of best performance in the market.
Our expertise in high precision multilayer braiding and wrapping makes the TestPro cable range stable over thousands
of bending life cycles.
5000 MATING CYCLES GUARANTEED
TestPro cable assemblies for test applications were developped using new highly ruggedized stainless steel connectors.
Our TestPro connectors are extremely robust. The combination of higher grade stainless steel and a unique attachment method
offers a very reliable product over multiple matings.
Performance after 5,000 matings
- Low contact resistance variation
- < 0.3 mΩ
- VSWR 1.11
at
18 GHz
CONNECTOR ATTACHMENT
The connector attachment is the main weakness when using standard cable assemblies in test and measurement applications.
Radiall TestPro connectors are designed with a unique attachment process which elevates the assembly ruggedness,
provides high electrical stability and a very long life.
