Crystek Corporation has introduced a line of 26.5 GHz Hand Formable Coaxial Cable Assemblies, a new addition to their Low-Loss RF Coaxial Cables. Designed to operate from DC to 26.5 GHz, the hand-formable CCSMA26.5-MM-086 Cable Assemblies are ideally suited for jumpers, instrumentation, and high-frequency interconnects. The 50 ohm cables provide an attenuation value of 1.40 dB/ft. at 26.5 GHz - and offer shielding effectiveness of greater than 100 dB with an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC. Electrically matched pairs are also available. Crystek's CCSMA26.5-MM-086 cables feature an outside cable diameter of 0.086" and offer a minimum bend radius of 0.125" (single bend) and 0.990" (multiple bend). Available from stock in lengths from 3" to 12" (custom sizing available), each cable is constructed of a silver-plated copper wire center conductor, tin-soaked copper outer braid, and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) dielectric. The high-frequency stainless steel SMA connectors feature a gold-plated brass center pin.
