HAND TM Coaxial Cable 141-BM+ Series 50 DC t o 3 GHz The Big Deal Hand-formable to any shape, 8mm min bend radius BNC-Male connectors Excellent return loss CASE STYLE: KQ2160 Low insertion loss Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview 141-BM+ series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are ideal for interconnecting coaxial components and sub-assemblies in a wide range of systems, including communications, military and aerospace, environmental test chambers and more. The hand-formable cable provides a minimum bend radius of 8mm to accommodate tight layouts without the need for bending tools, adapters or brackets. BNC-male connectors make these cables ideal for connection of assemblies with BNC connector types. 141-BM+ series cables are available in a variety of lengths to meet your system needs. Key Features Feature Advantages Facilitates the assembly of coaxial systems and sub-systems without the need for special cable- Hand-formable RF cables bending tools or adapters. Reduces the risk of damage during bending. Tight bend-radius, 8mm 8mm bend-radius makes the cable ideal for connections in tight spaces and crowded layouts. Low insertion loss Minimizes overall signal path loss. Excellent return loss Minimizes signal reflection and VSWR ripple contribution. Supports easy interconnection of components and equipment in systems with BNC connector BNC-Male connectors types. Good power handling 546 W at 0.5 GHz Supports medium to high RF power levels used in transmit paths. 180W at 3 GHz Notes A.
