New Products

Test grade cables are a must for RF applications. The test cables serve as the extension of the equipments’ test ports. They provide flexibility for measuring cable assemblies or other microwave devices. It is vital to system performance that they remain stable when subjected to environmental or mechanical stresses. Phase stable cables have triple shielding with low loss dielectric and high temp jacketing to minimize the phase effects when flexed multiple times. The connectors are made of rugged stainless steel for extended attachment and feature a strain relief support designed for armoring as an option. RF Precision Products now offers such cables for applications up to 26.5 GHz. Test charts included. Off the shelf lengths are as follows. Custom lengths are available.

• P2RFC-1055-24 (24 inch length)
• P2RFC-1055-36 (36 inch length)
• P2RFC-1055-48 (48 inch length)

Test Grade 7-16 Adapters have Stainless Steel Coupling Nuts for harsh test environments

7-16 DIN to N adapters are highly desired in applications such as base station Passive Intermodulation (PIM) testing. Portable Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) analyzers require rugged adapters that withstand varying field environments while maintaining error correction ratios. White Bronze plating offers a tarnish free non-magnetic solution with electrical performance rivaling Silver plated products. Stainless steel coupling nuts allow repetitive torque settings of 18 ft-lbs minimum for DIN males and 30 in-lbs maximum for N males. These adapters have extremely low insertion loss, excellent VSWR and low PIM performance which makes them the adapter of choice for PIM and TDR analyzers. All adapters in the series are tested in-house to 8 GHz and up to 13 GHz on selected models. Test charts included with each adapter.

Test charts included. Parts available are:

• P2RFD-1670-SS: 7-16 DIN Male to N Male; White Bronze, Stainless Steel Coupling Nut
• P2RFD-1671-SS: 7-16 DIN Male to N Female; White Bronze, Stainless Steel Coupling Nut
• P2RFD-1672-SS: 7-16 DIN Female to N Male; White Bronze, Stainless Steel Coupling Nut

High Frequency Test Cables Now Available in New Product Line

Test grade cables are desired in applications where multiple connector attachment and continuous flexing demands are a priority. RF Industries now offers a line of 18GHz precision test cables in standard or custom lengths, suitable for production or lab environments. Featuring high-grade, passivated, stainless steel SMA males with PTFE insulators, this unique cable is configured for low loss and low VSWR. With triple shielding for optimum EMI protection, they are very phase-stable during mechanical and environmental stresses. The cable is also manufactured in accordance with MIL-DTL-17, type IX specification. Other features include high velocity of propagation, wide operating temperature and blue FEP jacket. Armored versions for rugged field applications are also available. RF Industries created these test cables to meet a growing need for test grade cable assemblies.

Electrical data is: 50 Ohms impedance, 23.8 pf/ft capacitance, 85% Vp, better than -95 dB shielding effectiveness, -55 to +200C operating temperature and -.50 @ 18GHz dB/ft attenuation.

Kit combines precision 3.5mm adapters for high frequency applications

The P2RFA-4031-01 kit features three 3.5mm precision adapters added to the RF Connector product line for use in microwave and RF applications. All 3.5mm adapters in this series have 50 ohm impedance and are made of non-magnetic, 303 stainless steel with beryllium copper contacts, supported with a bead configuration. They are designed to operate up to 26.5 GHz with a VSWR rating of 1.05+.006 f (f-GHz) max, and have the same electrical length. 3.5mm series coaxial connectors and adapters inter-mate with SMA and 2.9mm connectors and are used primarily on test equipment. Female contacts feature a four-slot configuration, ensuring that pressure is distributed evenly during the engagement of the male pin, a design which, when combined with a shortened male pin, eliminates misalignment during engagement.

Adapters in the kit include P2RF35M-35M-026 male-to-male, P2RF35F-35F-026 female-to-female, and P2RF35M-35F-026 male-to-female. The adapters are housed in a compact, foam-lined, zippered case for convenience and protection of the components when not in use.
