HAND TM 141SMR Model Series Coaxial Cable 50 DC to 18 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: KQ1632-XX Hand Formable XX= cable length in inches Tight Bend Radius Right Angle SMA Connectors Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview The 141 Series Hand-Flex Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. The construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel 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 and gold plated, brass center conductor. Key Features Feature Advantages The 141 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 8mm bend radius, the 141 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 6 GHz and 21 dB to 18 GHz, the 141 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 141 Series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these cables to 546W at 0.5 GHz be used in the transmit path. NOTE: power rating is at sea-level altitudes. 90W at 18 GHz Mini-Circuits 141 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. Standard 141 Series cables include a blue FEP insulator jacket reducing the risk of accidental Jacketed shorting of DC power lines or active pins during installation and operation. Right angle SMA connectors Avoids multiple right angle bends and improves reliability. Notes A.
