Phase-Stable Cables Link Signals To 50 GHz

June 25, 2009

The True Blue line of low-loss cable assemblies from Teledyne Storm Products is usable at frequencies to 50 GHz. Based on compression-resistant, low-loss dielectric material and reliable soldered connections, the phase-stable cables can handle power levels of 280 W for 0.125-in.-diameter cables and as much as 1700 W for 0.420-in.-diameter cables. The shielding effectiveness (SE) is -90 dB at 1 GHz for all diameter cables. The nominal attenuation is 0.520 dB/ft at 10 GHz for a 0.125-in.-diameter cable and 0.130 dB/ft at 10 GHz for a 0.420-in.-diameter cable.
