Designed for applications from dc to 50 GHz, the Warrior Cable line of coaxial cables and cable assemblies are rugged and crush-proof, maintaining stable amplitude and phase performance under vibration and shock conditions. The cables feature a GrooveTube Copper outer conductor, solid gold-plated copper inner conductor, and PTFE tape dielectric. The cables (alone) achieve shielding effectiveness of better than 110 dB with propagation velocity of 69%. The cables have a static bend radius of 3.81 cm and an operating temperature range of −55 to +135°C. A wide range of coaxial connectors are available for cable assemblies (frequency-dependent) including Type N, SMA, BNC, 3.5-mm, 2.9-mm, 2.4-mm, and 12.85-mm connectors. All Warrior cable assemblies are 100% tested for S-parameter performance and each cable assembly is serialized.
