Semi-Rigid Cables Datasheet

The semi-rigid cable is unique in that it is easily bent to finished shape and still maintains its set after bending. This property makes it ideal for use with automated bending equipment as well as hand forming by bending tools.

There are hundreds of proven applications which include: low-noise amplifiers, a full range of microwave components, aeronautical and space applications and a variety of high-performance laboratory instrumentation. The semi-rigid cables provide greatly extended environmental parameters. The cables exhibit highly favourable electrical characteristics, particularly an impedance tolerance as low as 0.5 Ohm for a .141" diameter cable with nominal impedance of 50 Ohm.

Features and benefits

• Excellent electrical performance: impedance tolerance as low as 0.5 Ohm; minimum VSWR, smooth attenuation vs. frequency curve; minimum change in impedance and attenuation
• Easy to form, strip and solder, making for convenient installation
• Small sizes permit use in high-density areas
• MIL-C-17 qualified
