Semi-rigid Space Qualified cable assemblies manufactured to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 deliver superior performance

Ideal for applications in the DC to 60GHz range, Space-FlexÔ cable assemblies from Florida RF Labs, a Smiths interconnect company, are manufactured in their ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified factory, south of the Florida space coast. Space qualified and light weight, the cable assemblies deliver superior shielding in a wide range of applications ranging from satellites and space through to military, test and instrumentation.

Phase matched sets are available with a standard tolerance of ±1 degree per GHz. The cable assemblies maintain their tightly controlled mechanical specifications over time, and high vibration resistance ensures proper operation in the harshest environments

The 0.086 diameter is the most common size Semi-Rigid cable and is ideally suited to use with miniature high frequency connectors such as 2.4mm and SMP. The 0.086 offers mode free operation to 60GHz and has bend radius of 3.2mm (0.125 inches). Loss is typically 19.2dB/100ft at 1GHz, 123dB/100ft at 26GHz, and 211dB/100ft at 60GHz.

0.141 cable matches well with high frequency connectors such as 2.9mm and SMA connectors. Mode free operation is to 35GHz and bend radius is 3.4mm (0.250 inches). These low loss cables exhibit 12dB/100ft typical loss at 1GHz, 64dB/100ft at 18GHz and 101dB/100ft at 35GHz.
