Technical Data
Cobham has been producing quality coaxial cable assemblies for more
than 50 years with over 487 custom cable designs and approximately
5,000 standard and custom connector designs available.
18 and 26.5 GHz (General Purpose)
These durable Test Cables have excellent electrical characteristics with the
flexibility and reliability required for most test applications. Customer-replaceable
interfaces allow a single cable to interconnect a variety of male and female
interfaces without degrading the low loss and VSWR of the cable assembly.
26.5 GHz (Metrology Grade)
These automatic network analyzer, phase stable, instrument Test Cables provide
the stability needed in three critical areas: phase, amplitude and VSWR. A
significant advance over standard test cables, these cables maintain stability in
all three parameters at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz even after 150,000 flexures.
Interchangeable connectors allow a single cable to use male and female heads of
a given interface without degradation in phase, amplitude or VSWR.
40GHz (Metrology Grade)
The 1935 series of Automatic Network Analyzer Test Cables sets a new standard
in both phase and amplitude stability without sacrificing flexibility. A customer
ruggedizing jacket prevents crushing and twisting, assuring years of usage
without degradation. All high frequency interfaces are offered including
ruggedized interfaces to connect directly to the PNA or VNA.
To 50 GHz (Metrology Grade)
These ultra-flexible, phase-stable Test Cables provide the necessary phase,
amplitude and VSWR stability necessary to perform precision automatic network
analyzer tests to 50 GHz. A by-product of our extensive EW experience, these
remarkable cables meet all specifications even after being flexed the equivalent of
several years of normal laboratory use.
The example below illustrates the part number formulation for FN24G cable,
24 inches long, with 3.5mm female and 3.5mm male connectors.
