Temp-Flex microwave coaxial cables are available with either a solid-core fluoropolymer resin dielectric (low loss) or an air-enriched design with a fluoropolymer resin coating applied through a double monofilament (ultra-low loss) over the center conductor to increase signal velocity. A high-purity fluoropolymer resin has a low dissipation value and ensures a reduced power loss rate. Highly consistent manufacturing processes are used to maintain tight mechanical tolerances, resulting in extremely stable electrical performance.Other advantages offered by Temp-Flex low or ultra-low frequency loss coaxial cables for microwaves are:
Phase stability
Minimum impedance tolerance: 50 W ± 1 W
Minimum delay tolerance
FEP as an alternative to PTFE and ePTFE
Bandwidth potential: up to 110 GHz
Stability under dynamic conditions
Designed for high-level tracking and control of radars, military vehicles, satellites, space systems, missiles, RF ablation, and test and measurement equipment, Temp-Flex coaxial cable solutions are insulated with a fluoropolymer dielectric. All cables, regardless of size, are shielded or braided with flat silver-plated copper wires that spirally wrap around the cables for enhanced shielding effectiveness. The standard coaxial cable (low loss), manufactured with a solid core, achieves a propagation velocity of 70%, while the air-enriched dual-monofilament design (ultra-low frequency loss) achieves a propagation velocity of between 85% and 88%, with even lower loss levels at high frequencies.
Precision cable assemblies are manufactured at Molex's RF facilities.
