Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies deliver high performance with proven cable technology and connector termination expertise 89762 Assemblies with Standard RF Connectors and Temp-Flex® Cables in Solid-Core Low- Loss and Air-Dielectric Ultra-Low-Loss Options High-performance, Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies replace stiff and difficult-to-install semi-rigid assemblies. Constructed from Temp-Flex® coaxial cables and Molex RF connectors, the Flexible Microwave Cables offer excellent electrical properties and are assembled using proprietary techniques to minimize Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and insertion loss for the ideal cable and connector combination. The cables come standard with silver-plated conductors, fluoropolymer (FEP) dielectric, double shields and FEP jacket. The solid-core low-loss cables use proprietary low-loss FEP dielectric with 70% velocity of propagation (VOP). The air-dielectric ultra-low-loss cables use a unique air-enhanced design with up to 87% VOP. Connector options include SMA, 2.92, SMP, SMPM and many others. Features and Benefits Cable impedance of 50 +/- 1 Ohms Provides consistent electrical performance Dual shielded using helically wrapped foil covered by a braided shield Delivers excellent shielding effectiveness greater than 100 dB Solid-core low-loss fluoropolymer (FEP) assemblies Provides assemblies with low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) Air-Dielectric Ultra-Low-Loss assemblies Used for assemblies with lowest possible attenuation Proprietary Air-Dielectric Ultra-LowLoss connector-to-cable termination expertise Ensures optimized cable assembly performance Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies with Temp-Flex® Solid-Core Low-Loss and Air-Dielectric Ultra-Low-Loss Cables Ordering Information Connector Availability Matrix* Temp-Flex® Solid-Core Low Loss Cable RF Connector Type Orientation Part numbers are for design reference only; not published on molex.com 047SC-2901 086SC-2401 141SC-1901 SMPM Jack SMP Jack SMA Plug Temp-Flex® Air-Dielectric Ultra Low Loss Cable 047-2801 086-2201 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X Straight X X Right Angle X X Straight X X X Right Angle X X Straight X X 141-1701 Right Angle X X X X X X SMA Jack Straight X X X X X X 2.92mm Plug Straight X X X X X X 2.4mm Plug Straight X X X X Type N Plug Straight TNC Jack Straight X X X X X X *Complete, in-house, high-performance cable assembly solutions with the above connector options (additional connector options are available or in development) Flexible Microwave Cable Assemblies Ordering Information Temp-Flex® Cable Performance Characteristics* Cable Part No.* Impedance (Ohms) VOP (%) Capacitance Static Bend Radius (min.)
