astro-STEEL-flex

Cable Types: 32041, 32086, 32081, 32027, 32019, 32039

High performance/high pull strength microwave coaxial cables

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
astro-STEEL-flex cables are lightweight flexible replacements to semi-rigid cable. All utilize triple shields for superior RF shielding, with a solid TFE dielectric for exceptional crush resistance without the need for heavy armor. The flat wire braid outer conductor provides low loss plus excellent Insertion Loss stability with flexure. The stainless steel outer braid provides improved mechanical pull strength when compared to cables with a copper wire outer braid.

PRODUCT FEATURES Designed For Low Cost/High Volume Applications Triple Shielded For Superior Isolation (-110dB) Excellent Loss Stability over Flexure Steel Outer Shield for High Pull Strength (see technical data chart below) Operating Temperature -55C To + 200C Designed To Replace RG Type Cables UL Approved

RECOMMENDED CONNECTORS 32041 - SMP, SMPM, SSSA, microbend SMA, 2.9mm 32086 ?SMA, SSMA 32081 SMA, minibend SMA, N, 2.9mm, SSMA, SMP, 2.4mm 32027 SMA, TNC, N 32019 SMA, TNC, N 32039 SMA, TNC, N, 7-16 Others available
