Fairview Microwave intros armored test cables

ALLEN, USA: Fairview Microwave Inc., a pre-eminent supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, introduced a new line of armored coaxial test cables which are designed to withstand punishing environments such as production line testing and continual in-the-field use.

The new armored cables from Fairview can be ordered with SMA or N-Type connectors, which are constructed of rugged stainless steel. The SMA test cables are designed to operate to 20 GHz and the N-Type test cables operate to 18 GHz.

The strong interface between the connector and armoring, along with the strain-relief booting, increase the overall performance and longevity of the cable assembly. Fairview's armored test cables are built using a triple shielded coax with an expanded PTFE dielectric

Despite having a durable stainless steel jacket, Fairview's new armored cables are manufactured with a flexible coaxial cable allowing it to bend and flex repeatedly without degrading the electrical signal. The armored assemblies from Fairview Microwave can be purchased in several standard lengths from 24 to 60 inches. Other lengths, including metric, are also available upon request.
