Care and handling instructions for HUBER+SUHNER microwave cables
HUBER+SUHNER microwave cable assemblies of all types
offer a long service life providing they are treated with the
appropriate care and attention. Microwave cable assem-
blies are high precision system components and require
proper handling in order to ensure that measuring perfor-
mance values are maintained.
To achieve the maximum measuring performance the follo-
wing guidelines should be followed:
1. Assemblies should remain in their original packaging
for delivery and storage. Storage temperature should be
between +13 °C and +80 °C and the relative humidity
should not exceed 85%.
6. Choose the measurement routing using the largest bend
radii possible. Small bend radii may affect electrical per-
formance. Exceeding the specified limits during the measu-
rement process could cause a permanent degradation.
7. Avoid twisting microwave cable assemblies. Torsion
of this type of assembly can alter the relative diameters
of cable layers and affects the electrical characteristics.
Exceeding the limit of 10° per metre during measuring
process could cause a permanent degradation.
8. Examine interfaces for damage and/or contamination
before mating.
2. Carefully unpack assemblies before measurement.
Avoid kinking cables when straightening from a coil or
reel.
9. Discharge connectors before mating or ensure that they
are connected to a suitable ground.
3. Ensure that the surroundings are clean and free of dust,
dirt and any other particles that could enter unsealed con-
nector interfaces.
10. When mating connectors with a screwed interface
always hold the connector bodies and turn only the cou-
pling nut. This avoids twisting the cable and ensures mini-
mum wear on the connector pins.
4. Use protective caps to prevent contamination whenever
connectors are unmated.
11. Do not exceed the torque specified.
5. Where interfaces are contaminated, particles can be
removed with dry, oil-free compressed air. Please use
eye-protection. Interfaces can be cleaned with dry cotton
swabs. Do not use hard hand-tools or solvents. Do not
blow into interfaces or use normal compressed-air.
HUBER+SUHNER is certified according
to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
