HAND TM 141 SMNM Model Series Coaxial Cable 50 DC t o 18 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: KQ1668-XX SMA to N-Type Connection XX= cable length in inches Excellent Return Loss and Insertion Loss Tight Bend Radius (8mm min.) Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview 141 SMNM+ series Hand-Flex coaxial cables are ideal for integrating coaxial components and sub-systems in tight spaces and dense system configurations. SMA to N-Type connection avoids need for an adapter between components with SMA-F and N-F connection ports, reducing system cost and improving reliability. Sturdy, hand- formable cable construction maintains shape after bending with bend-radius as small as 8mm. 141 SMNM+ coaxial cables have the advantages of wide frequency range and excellent return loss and insertion loss. Available in a variety of lengths. Key Features Feature Advantages 141 SMNM+ series Hand-Flex cables avoid the need for cable-bending tools, alleviating the risk Hand-Formable of damage during bending processes typical of semi-rigid cable assemblies. Capable of bending to radii as small as 8mm, the 141 SMNM+ series is ideal for making Tight Bend Radius connections in tight spaces and dense system assemblies. Typical return loss of 25 dB to 6 GHz and 18 dB to 18 GHz makes the 141 SMNM+ series ideal Excellent Return loss for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. High Power Handling Capability: Mini-Circuits 141 SMNM+ series cables can support medium to high RF power levels and can be 546W at 0.5 GHz used in the transmit path. (NOTE: power rating at sea-level). 90W at 18 GHz Supports the connector bodies during installation, preventing stress to the connector/cable Built-in Anti-torque Nut interface. Eliminates need for adapter when connecting to SMA-F and N-F connectors, reducing cost and SMA-Male / N-Male connectors improving reliability. Notes A.
