Temp-Flex air-dielectric ultra-low-loss flexible microwave coaxial cables from Molex Inc. feature a patented dual monofilament air-enhanced design and helically wrapped shield. They achieve 85% to 88% velocity of propogration (VOP) for increased signal speed.
“Meeting requirements for strong signal performances with limited signal loss is a growing challenge in high-frequency applications,” said Jeet Sanyal, engineering manager, Temp-Flex. “Industry leading Temp-Flex microwave coaxial cables deliver up to 88% VOP – exceeding stringent aerospace and defense specifications while achieving optimum phase stability and bandwidth.”
The cables are insulated with a fluoropolymer dielectric to ensure superior monitoring and control in high frequency aerospace, defense and commercial applications, including radar, military vehicles, satellites, space, missile, radio frequency (RF) ablation, test and measurement equipment.
Providing extremely stable electrical performance with minimal impedance and insertion loss variation in dynamic applications, they also ensure the industry’s smallest mechanical tolerances: 0.047, 0.086, and 0.141 in. shield OD constructions. The flexible microwave coaxial cables offer 100 dB or greater shielding effectiveness and protect signals from internal and external interference.
The return-loss performance of the Temp-Flex coaxial cables optimizes VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) characteristics for the complete end-to-end interconnect. The helically wrapped flat-wire shield with braid results in excellent shielding effectiveness, enhanced flexibility and superior electrical performance compared with semi-rigid microwave coaxial solutions.
