SilverLine -ExtraFlex Production test for small sized RF products Edge launch testing General purpose RF Interconnects through 18 Ghz SilverLine -ExtraFlex was designed for testing delicate components such as exposed RF circuits with edge launch connectors. Thin, lightweight and exible this coax makes handling PC boards easy yet does not compromise RF stability and isolation. Using Times proprietary TF-4 dielectric SilverLine -ExtraFlex goes one step further, exhibiting linear phase change from 0C to +30C (see graph). SilverLine -ExtraFlex uses the same robust, proven connector attachment system that has made SilverLine the preferred choice in RF test labs everywhere. A new injection-molded strain relief system designed to match the cables exibility assures the cable will bend tightly but not fail prema- turely behind the connector.
