Product Overview
141 SMNM+ series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are ideal for integrating coaxial components and sub-systems in
tight spaces and dense system configurations. SMA to N-Type connection avoids need for an adapter between
components with SMA-F and N-F connection ports, reducing system cost and improving reliability. Sturdy, hand-
formable cable construction maintains shape after bending with bend-radius as small as 8mm. 141 SMNM+ coaxial
cables have the advantages of wide frequency range and excellent return loss and insertion loss. Available in a
variety of lengths.

Hand-Formable
Tight Bend Radius
Advantages
141 SMNM+ series Hand-Flex cables avoid the need for cable-bending tools, alleviating the risk
of damage during bending processes typical of semi-rigid cable assemblies.
Capable of bending to radii as small as 8mm, the 141 SMNM+ series is ideal for making
connections in tight spaces and dense system assemblies.
Typical return loss of 25 dB to 6 GHz and 18 dB to 18 GHz makes the 141 SMNM+ series ideal
for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution
due to mating cables & connectors.
Mini-Circuits 141 SMNM+ series cables can support medium to high RF power levels and can be
used in the transmit path. (NOTE: power rating at sea-level).
Supports the connector bodies during installation, preventing stress to the connector/cable
interface.
Eliminates need for adapter when connecting to SMA-F and N-F connectors, reducing cost and
improving reliability.
