An RF Test Cable Assembly is arguably one of the most important parts of any RF testing set-up, whether it is used in an engineering/design lab or in a manufacturing operation. These flexible test cable assemblies have RF connectors located at each end and need to be low-loss with good phase stability when flexed.
RF Test Cable Assemblies are used over and over again, for long periods of time. They need to be very durable in order to provide repeatable, accurate measurements for the devices and/or systems under test. In their lifetime, these cable assemblies are flexed thousands of times and the connectors at either end are mated thousands of times. Therefore, they must provide excellent electrical performance, high mechanical endurance, and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.
Specific attributes which are important in selecting the right RF Test Cable Assembly for your application include Type (which means the connector type at each end), Gender Combination (Male-to-Male, Female-to-Female, or Male-to-Female), Length (inches) and Frequency Range (GHz).
