Flexible Coaxial Cable FL086-XXKM+ Model Series 50 DC to 40 GHz The Big Deal Flexible Tight Bend Radius, 6mm CASE STYLE: SE2929-XX Excellent Return Loss and Insertion Loss XX= cable length in inches Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems Product Overview The FL086 Series Flexible Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. The construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor. 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 with gold plated brass center conductor. The FL086 Series Flexible cables are available in variety of length to meet your requirements. Key Features Feature Advantages The FL086 Series Flexible cables are ideal for use integrating coaxial components and sub- Flexible RF Cables assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies. Capable of only 6mm bend radius, the FL086 Flexible series is able to make connections in tight Tight Bend Radius: 6mm spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration Excellent Return loss The FL086 Series Flexible Cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of RF 31 dB typ. up to 18 GHz components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. 28 dB typ. up to 40 GHz Good Power Handling Capability: Mini-Circuits FL086 Cable series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these 198W at 0.5 GHz cables to be used in the transmit path.
