Boost signal integrity with ultra-compact SMPM TO SMPM cable assemblies

Amphenol RF has introduced the SMPM-to-SMPM assembly on RG-178 cable into our extensive and diverse portfolio of cable assemblies. The compact size of these assemblies makes them highly suited for use in applications where space is at a premium. With a 50Ω impedance and the ability to operate from DC to 6GHz, the cable assembly is equipped to provide reliable RF performance in the most challenging applications. This new assembly is also compatible with existing SMPM products, including both limited- and full-detent PCB and cable-mounted connectors.

The body and contact of the SMPM connectors featured on this assembly are constructed from conductive gold-plated beryllium copper. The rear body of the right-angle SMPM connector is machined from highly conductive nickel-plated brass, while the rear body of the straight SMPM connector is gold-plated brass. The insulator is constructed from PTFE, and the ferrule is produced from nickel-plated copper. Quality materials used in SMPM connectors ensure reliability in innovative applications such as quantum computing, medical equipment and commercial and military drones.

Available in pre-configured lengths of 3" to 2m, this assembly joins an extensive offering of cable assemblies available as off-the-shelf solutions.
