Temperature-conditioned RF cables launch

Jon Lawson

Fairview Microwave has released a new series of temperature-conditioned RF cable assemblies that are designed for military electronics, avionics, SATCOM, ECM, IFF and other mission critical applications.

Fairview’s new low loss, pre-conditioned, cables cover operating frequencies to 18 GHz and deliver VSWR down to 1.35:1. This product line is made up of 128 configurations built from three different types of cable, totalling more than 1,400 parts.

They are constructed using thermally pre-conditioned, triple-shielded coaxial cable and captivated stainless steel connectors, which are then assembled using J-STD soldering processes and WHMA-A-620 workmanship criteria. These commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cables are 100% tested and come complete with material lot traceability and test reporting.
