Low Loss Cable Assemblies​

FEAT​​URES​
B​ENEFITS

Compression resistant lo​w loss, low density dielectric

Low insertion loss and excellent amplitude stability

Less prone to damage during handling and installation

Quadraform shielding

Longer cable assembly life due to greater connector retention

Laminate construction provides low signal leakage

Highly reliable soldered connections

Longer cable assembly life due to greater connector retention

Low insertion loss and excellent amplitude stability

Various standard connector options and a number of ready-to-ship standard assemblies

Reduced lead time for configured assemblies

Cost-effective, same-day shipment options for standard configurations​​​​​​​
