Flexible VNA Test Cables Provide Precise Results

November 10, 2017

Ideal for test benches, Pasternack’s high-performance, flexible vector network analyzer (VNA) test cables support precision measurements to 110 GHz. 

They are assembled with a PE-TC110 coaxial cable, 1.0 mm stainless steel connector interfaces and a non-conductive Nomex® outer sleeve. The light-duty armoring protects the small, 0.27 in diameter cable and improves stability during flexure—maintaining excellent phase and amplitude stability. The cables have 50 Ω impedance, with a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1 and low insertion loss. They operate over a wide range of temperatures, from −65°C to +125°C, and are RoHS and REACH compliant.

To ensure the highest levels of quality, each VNA test cable assembly is serialized, fully tested and shipped with the test data. Standard 6 and 12 in lengths with male-to-male or male-to-female configurations are available off-the-shelf, i.e., in-stock and ready for immediate shipment with no minimum order quantity restrictions.

In addition to VNA testing, Pasternack’s precision VNA cables are well suited for use with radar, microwave and mmWave radio systems.
