Open.Tech’s Conformable RF Cable Assemblies are meticulously engineered to deliver superior performance in high-frequency and high-speed signal applications, essential for military, aerospace, and ruggedized environments. These cable assemblies combine the flexibility of standard flexible cables with the robustness of semi-rigid cables, offering an optimal solution for various demanding applications.
Technical Features and Specifications:
High-Frequency Performance: These assemblies support frequencies up to 26 GHz, ensuring minimal signal loss and optimal performance for both analog and digital signals. They maintain consistent conductor spacing, crucial for high-frequency signal integrity.
Superior Shielding and Construction: The outer shield is constructed with a tin-plated braid, replacing the traditional braided outer shield of flexible cables. This design provides enhanced durability while maintaining flexibility, making them easy to form by hand during installation without compromising performance.
Impedance and Attenuation: With a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, these cables are designed to minimize signal attenuation and ensure effective signal transmission. The attenuation ranges from 0.25 to 2.09 dB/m, depending on the cable type and application, supporting high-power and high-speed signal requirements.
Robust Connectors: The assemblies are terminated with high-quality precision connectors, including SMA, 2.92mm, and 3.5mm types, ensuring compatibility with various systems and providing reliable connections under extreme conditions.
Environmental Resistance: These cables are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures (-65°C to +165°C), high altitudes, vibration, shock, and moisture. They comply with MIL-STD-202 standards, making them suitable for military and aerospace applications where reliability is paramount.
Applications: Ideal for use in military and aerospace environments, these cable assemblies are perfect for applications requiring robust and high-performance interconnects, such as radar systems, avionics, and communication systems. They are also suitable for research and development, prototyping, and test environments where flexibility and reliability are critical.
Benefits:
