Unlike other similar solutions, the SUCOFLEX 550S is available in custom lengths with immediate availability for stock assemblies and rapid turnaround from manufacturing for custom configurations. With a service life of over 100,000 flex cycles, the assembly is the latest addition to the SUCOFLEX 500 family and offers a range of benefits, including high electrical performance and an improved mechanical design for greater durability.
HUBER + SUHNER's patented rotary stamping technology gives the SUCOFLEX 550S the flexibility of a stranded inner conductor while maintaining the electrical properties, such as low attenuation factor, of a solid inner conductor.
The assembly is designed to withstand abrasion, pressure, and moisture, making it ideal for customers seeking a precise and durable connectivity solution. The SUCOFLEX 550S is suitable for numerous test and measurement applications, including benchtop testing, high-performance RF production testing, and vector network analyzer measurements up to 50 GHz.
“Typically, cables with solid strands will break after 10,000–20,000 flex cycles, but the SUCOFLEX 550S has a lifespan of over 100,000 flex cycles. Furthermore, it addresses the challenge customers have previously faced in finding customized assemblies with short lead times. Historically, solutions have come in standard lengths that are expensive with long delivery times, so we are delighted to be able to offer the 50 GHz SUCOFLEX 550S assembly, which can be customized with a short lead time.”.
