HAND TM Coaxial Cable 141 SMNB Model Series 50 DC to 12.5 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: KQ1669-XX N-Type (F) Bulkhead Connector to SMA (M) XX= cable length in inches Hand Formable Tight Bend-Radius (8mm min.) Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview 141-SMNB-series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are ideal for integrating rack-mounted coaxial components and sub- assemblies in tight spaces and dense system configurations. N-Type female bulkhead connector at one end is equipped with a nickel-plated brass flange for secure connections to rack mounted equipment. SMA-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-SMNB-series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are available in various lengths for different system requirements. Key Features Feature Advantages Eliminates need for a bulkhead adapter and connects directly to the front panel of rack-mounted Single N-Type female bulkhead connector equipment, improving reliability and reducing system cost. 141-SMNB-series Hand Flex cables avoid the need for cable-bending tools, alleviating the risk of Hand-formable damage during bending processes typical of semi-rigid cable assemblies. 8mm bend radius Ideal for making connections in tight spaces and dense system assemblies. Typical return loss of 21 dB to 12.5 GHz or better makes 141-SMNB series cables ideal for Excellent return loss connecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. Good power handling capability 141-SMNB 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). 110W at 12.5 GHz Anti-torque feature supports the SMA connector body during installation, preventing stress to the Built-in anti-torque nut connector/cable interface. Connector interface meets MIL-STD-348. Notes A.
