FLEXIBLE RF CABLES

Junkosha's MWX series cable assemblies offer excellent phase and loss stability against temperature fluctuations and bending. They are ideal for connecting vector network analyzers for probing measurements up to 26.5 GHz, 40 GHz, 50 GHz, and 67 GHz.

Junkosha's MWX161 slim, flexible cables are ideal for probing applications.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • High performance cable assemblies for microwave measurements up to 145 GHz
  • High cable flexibility for precision probing applications
  • Superior phase stability against bending and temperature fluctuations
  • Lineup features heat-resistant types that can be used in a wide continuous operating temperature range (-65 to +125°C) in microwave measurement environments
  • Highly flexible and high phase stability ideal for probing applications when the test probes and positioners pulled by the cable force may cause difficulties in performing precision measurements.
