Developing high-voltage solutions with pre-configured MHV cable assemblies

Amphenol RF has introduced its MHV cable assemblies into various pre-configured assembly options. These cables can support high-voltages of DC current. They are designed on industry-standard RG-58 cable and feature the familiar bayonet coupling mechanism for quick and easy connect and disconnect functionality. MHV cable assemblies provide excellent electrical performance up to 500MHz and are ideal for transmission lines, x-rays and nuclear control instrumentation applications.

These cable assemblies feature straight MHV connectors manufactured with nickel-plated, brass bodies and silver-plated, brass contacts. Nickel plating provides for increased durability. The connectors can support up to 5000V of DC current. Although the appearance and mating style is comparable to the popular BNC connector, these are not intermateable.

The MHV cable assemblies are obtainable in various lengths up to 3m. Custom lengths are available upon request.
