New cables for precision testing feature light cable armoring

Pasternack has released four new 1mm flexible cables that are designed to deliver precision testing results for Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) testing, semiconductor probe testing, automotive radar testing and military radar testing. They are ideal for applications such as test benches, radar, microwave radio and millimeter wave radio.   The company’s  four new high-performance, flexible VNA test cables operate at up to 110GHz and deliver precise results for testing using a coaxial cable and 1.0 mm stainless steel connector interfaces. The coaxial cable is covered by a non-conductive Nomex outer sleeve. This light-duty armoring protects the small, 0.27-inch diameter cable and improves stability during flexure. These cables feature 50ohm impedance, a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1 and excellent phase/amplitude stability under flexure.   Their 1mm flexible VNA test cables operate over a wide range of temperatures from -65C to +125C. They are RoHS and REACH compliant. Each cable assembly is fully tested and comes with serialized test data. These cables are available in standard 6-inch and 12-inch lengths with male-to-male or male-to-female configurations.   “We are extremely excited to add these 110GHz test cables to our growing line of test and measurement products.  As the number of millimeter wave applications continues to grow, our customers can take advantage of our off-the-shelf solutions and quickly fulfill their needs,” said Dan Birch, product manager at Pasternack.
