HAND TM 086 KM Model Series Coaxial Cable 50 DC to 40 GHz The Big Deal Hand Formable CASE STYLE: RQ2535-XX Tight Bend-Radius XX= cable length in inches Excellent Return Loss and Insertion Loss Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview The 086 Series Hand-Flex Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. The construction includes a gold-plated beryllium copper center conductor which maintains the shape after bending. The outer shield is copper braid, tin soaked, which minimizes signal leakage and at the same time flexible for easy bend. Dielectric is low loss PTFE. Connectors have passivated stainless-steel coupling nut over a gold plated connector body. Key Features Feature Advantages The 086 Series Hand-Flex cables are hand formable making them ideal for use integrating coaxial components and sub-assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and Hand-Formable RF Cables alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies. Capable of only 6mm bend radius, the 086 Hand Flex series is able to make connections in tight Tight Bend Radius spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration Supporting typical return loss of 33 dB to 18 GHz and 24 dB to 40 GHz, the 086 Series Hand-Flex Excellent Return loss Cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. Good Power Handling Capability: Mini-Circuits 086 Cable series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these 61W at 1 GHz cables to be used in the transmit path. NOTE: power rating is at sea-level altitudes. 7W at 40 GHz Mini-Circuits 086 Series Hand Flex cables include an anti-torque feature to support the connector Built in Anti-torque nut body during installation alleviating risk of stress to the connector/cable interface.
