Outstanding performance achieved with new 2.92mm cable assemblies

Amphenol RF has introduced additional pre-configured 2.92mm cable assembly configurations, which feature a 2.92mm connector and the option of an SMP or SMPM connector attached to the opposing end. They are available in pre-configured lengths of 6" (0.15m), 9.84" (0.25m) and 12" (0.3m) on 0.085" conformable cable. Providing ease of installation, conformable cables are a more flexible alternative to less versatile semi-rigid coaxial cable types and are favoured for applications that need low loss. The 2.92mm cable assemblies are excellent for communication, SATCOM, microwave and quantum computing applications.

These assemblies deliver reliable electrical performance up to 40GHz while providing low VSWR. The 2.92mm interface is engineered to mate with SMA and 3.5mm interfaces and provides a passivated stainless steel coupling nut for secure mating. The body is produced from durable gold-plated stainless steel and has a gold-plated beryllium copper contact. The body and female centre contacts of the SMP and SMPM plugs are manufactured with gold-plated beryllium copper. SMP plugs deliver high-frequency performance with a compact size, while SMPM plugs offer similar performance in smaller packages.

These new configurations join a growing portfolio of 2.92mm cable assemblies obtainable as off-the-shelf solutions in standard lengths. Custom lengths are available upon request.
