Semi-rigid test cable maintains shape in mil-aero applications
Semi-rigid test cable for advanced testing of military and aerospace applications from Times Microwave Systems now includes the Clarity 110-SR. The cable constructions allows it to maintain its bent shape after installation for testing a variety of systems from mil-aero, quantum computing, 6G and automotive radar.
Designed for testing systems which require low loss and high phase stability at frequencies up to 110GHz, the Clarity 110-SR holds its shape after being bent around angles for installation within an enclosure. This is particularly useful for applications that demand no movement of the cable assembly.
The Clarity 110-SR is the latest addition to Times Microwave Systems’ Clarity series. Its performance is comparable to the flexible Clarity 110 which was introduced in 2021, but the SR version is a semi-rigid cable designed to accommodate tricky routing in tight spaces.
The Clarity 110-SR test cable is stable through 110GHz with exceptionally low attenuation for critical mmWave high frequency measurements, where phase stability and repeatability are of concern, said Times Microwave Systems. It has a simple, robust construction, made with just three components: a silver-plated copper centre conductor, a solid PTFE dielectric and a bare copper tube outer conductor. The copper material provides the right combination of flexibility and rigidity for maintaining a configured form.
Times Microwave’s Clarity 110-SR test cable is available now within a five week lead time.
