HAND TM Coaxial Cable 141-4SBSM+ 50 DC to 18 GHz The Big Deal SMA-M to SMA-F bulkhead connector Hand-formable with 8mm min. bend radius CASE STYLE: KQ1688-4 Excellent return loss Low insertion loss Product Overview 141-SBSM+ series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are ideal for integrating coaxial components and sub-assemblies in tight spaces and dense system configurations. SMA-female bulkhead connector at one end is equipped with a nickel-plated brass flange for secure connections directly to equipment housing panels. SMA-male connector has a passivated stainless-steel coupling nut over a gold-plated connector body. The outer shield is tin-soaked copper braid, which minimizes signal leakage with high flexibility for easy bending, and dielectric is low loss PTFE. 141- SBSM+ series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are available in various lengths for different system requirements. Key Features Feature Advantages Eliminates the need for a bulkhead adapter and connects directly to the front panel of rack- Single SMA-female bulkhead connector mounted equipment, improving reliability and reducing system cost. Hand-Flex cables avoid the need for special cable bending tools, alleviating the risk of damage Hand-formable during bending processes used in semi-rigid cable assemblies. 8mm bend-radius Ideal for making connections in tight spaces and dense system layouts. Ideal for connecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution Excellent return loss due to mating cables and connectors. Good power handling capability 141-SBSM+ coaxial cables can support medium to high RF power levels and can be used in the 546W at 0.5 GHz transmit path. (Power rating at sea-level). 90W at 18 GHz Built-in anti-torque nut on SMA-male Anti-torque feature supports the SMA connector body during installation, preventing stress to the connector connector/cable interface. Good power handling 211W at 0.5 GHz Supports medium to high RF power levels used in transmit paths. 35W at 18 GHz Notes A.
