Amphenol RF has expanded its growing portfolio of pre-configured cable assembly options with additional standard lengths for the popular SMA plug to SMA jack configuration designed on 0.085” conformable cable. This high-frequency solution provides versatility in new designs that may require custom shapes, superior shielding capabilities and rugged performance. SMA cable assemblies are often used in test and measurement equipment, RF enclosures and box builds and for signal routing between components.
These 50 ohm assemblies are manufactured using industry-standard flexible, semi-rigid, and conformable coaxial cables, and engineered with durable gold-plated, brass connectors. They are available in standard lengths from six inches to 48 inches. This configuration supports board-to-panel and module applications that require high-frequency performance up to 18 GHz. 0.085” conformable cable provides the electrical performance of semi-rigid cable with the installation flexibility of a formable cable. This cable can be bent and formed by hand during installation, eliminating the need for additional tools, and will maintain its shape in compact RF systems and controlled routing paths allowing for optimal signal routing.
