New range of robust RF cables and assemblies for high electrical stability and low-loss applications

RS Components has extended its portfolio of radio-frequency/microwave equipment with a new range of semi-rigid RF/microwave cables and assemblies from Huber and Suhner that offer ultra-high speed of more than 26GHz. Key products in the range are the high-quality flexible SucoFlex 126E coaxial cable assemblies, which are designed to provide enhanced optimal performance at up to 26.5GHz (depending on connector interface choice) with excellent return loss. The cables are ideal for applications that require electrical stability and low loss, such as in test and measurement and defence systems. They also feature a blue polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket, which offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistant properties and advanced protection in the most hostile environments including those with wide temperature ranges from –40C to +85C. The high-grade assemblies are available in various lengths and connector types, including 500mm and 1,000mm lengths. The range now also includes the Minibend 50ohm SMA plug-to-plug cable assemblies. These are designed for applications requiring low-profile connections between RF modules within communication systems. Available in 3”, 6” and 12” versions, the triple shielded cables have a robust high-temperature FEP outer jacket, stainless steel outer braid and an aluminium/polyimide barrier tape. The portfolio also includes IP68-rated black silicone universal weather protection boots for LISCA jumper cable assemblies. They are designed to protect jumpers between antennas and remote radio heads from the ingress of water, contamination and corrosion.
