Conductor

Solid of stranded silver plated copper (SPC) and silver plated copper clad steel (SPCW) and silver covered copper(SC) and silver covered copper clad steel(SCCS) wires with 40 micro inch minimum silver plating thickness for all configurations.

Dielectric

All of the high temperature, high performance coaxial cable listed have PTFE dielectrics with high dielectric strength and low capacitance in proportion to the dielectric constant. All PTFE dielectrics are manufactured with tolerances tighter than the MIL-C-17 specification to ensure uniformity of electrical characteristics, especially impedance, attenuation and VSWR.

Outer Conductor (Shield)

High temperature braids of silver copper (SPC) wire with a 40 micro inch minimum silver plating thickness are designed in accordance with the appropriate MIL-C-17 specification.

Jacket

Exttuded fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is available. The FEP is excellent because of its high temperature resistance and chemical inertness.

Attenuation

There are two types of losses with a MIL-C-17 coaxial cable. The first results from the dielectric properties of the core and the second is from conductor losses. The use of PTFE as a dielectric provides the lowest dielectric constant and is very stable over a wide range of temperature and frequencies. The conductor losses depend on the base material of the conductor and shield along with the plating of each, especially in higher frequency ranges.

V.S.W.R (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio)

The VSWR is the vector addition of the impedance changes along the length of a cable. The variations can be random or periodic. A resonance can occur at a particular frequency resulting in a VAWR spike. These impedance changes will often be related to a process during manufacturing. Because of the ram extrusion process for manufacturing PTFE dielectrics, most of the dielectric manufacturiog spikes are not present. The VSWR will change with frequency.

Characteristic Impedance

MIL-C-17 coaxial cable are available with characteristic impedance values 50, 75 and 95 ohms. Most systems use 50 ohms because it allows for maximum power transmission with minimum loss. The 75 ohms cables are more common in cable TV transmission where minimum cable attenuation. The 95 ohms cables are typically used for data transmission applications.

Cable Ordering Information

Semi-Flex Conformable^® Low Loss Coax Cable Assemblies

Cross RF provides the hand conformable flexible alternative to standard 047, 085, 141 and 250 semi rigid coax.

Utilizing a unique copper-tin composite shield and a durable, well performing Teflon dielectric, this cable is easy to bend by hand. Conformable coax cable assemblies are ideal for prototypes, aerospace, commercial or military and microwave equipment in the developing phase, but you still require the benefit of a phase stable, low loss cable that will exhibit electrical properties comparable with the final design.

You may easily manipulate multiple times the cable to accommodate design changes, and when necessary change the cable shape. It can be configured with your choice of connectors including: MCX, MMCX, SMA, SMB, SMC, TNC, and N.
