Low PIM cable assemblies for test and equipment applications
This newly launched series of high performance and low intermodulation cable assemblies are available in two convenient diameters and a large range of lengths.
In order to achieve the low intermodulation level of -155 dBm at 6 GHz with 2 tones of +26 dBm, the cable material consists of a silver plated copper centre conductor with PTFE dielectric and a copper/tin composite outer conductor. Connector bodies are of tri-metal plated brass with no ferrous parts.
The standard SMA male connectors also feature the anti-torque hex to prevent cable twisting and distortion as the connectors are tightened. This further enhances the cable assembly performance.
The ASF-LP series are available in lengths from 2 to 60 inches in both 0.141 and 0.086 sizes with frequency capability to more than 18 GHz and are formable and reformable in situ according to customer requirements. Another important feature, especially in the test and measurement and telecommunications fields, is the high RF shielding of 100 dB minimum. Connector options other than SMA male are also available.
