26.5 GHz Flexible Low-Price RF Coaxial Cable – CFR260

Cost-Efficient 26.5 GHz Flexible Cable for General Microwave Routing

The CFR260 RF coaxial cable is a purpose-engineered cable for general microwave routing, specified for RF transmission through 26.5 GHz. Within the CFR260 raw coaxial cable configuration, the CFR concept targets economical broadband integration, giving production engineers a defined performance baseline for volume RF hardware. Quantitative comparison of the CFR260 coaxial cable with other Cost-Efficient Flexible Coaxial Cables models should be based on the endpoint loss, power, conductor, and mechanical data below.

Mechanical Fit in General Microwave Systems

The cable envelope measures 2.65 mm in diameter; the minimum static radius is 13.50 mm and 26.50 mm minimum dynamic bend radius, and the specified service range is -55 to +125 °C. For the CFR260 raw coaxial cable, the FEP jacket must be considered in environmental, material-compatibility, and installation assessments. The 2.65 mm geometry of the CFR260 RF cable balances packaging efficiency with the conductor cross-section required by its electrical performance class. Compliance with these constraints helps protect impedance continuity and repeatability at the cable-to-connector transition associated with the CFR260 RF coaxial cable.

Power Capacity Versus Cable Loss

At 26.5 GHz, the published transmission data specify a loss of 4.072 dB/m and a power rating of 0.018 kW. Electrical construction is based on a 0.53 mm silver plated copper center conductor and a 70% propagation-velocity specification. For the CFR260 RF cable, the 70% propagation value provides the basis for estimating electrical delay and timing skew over the required assembly length. Together, these values support link-loss, electrical-delay, and power-margin calculations for the CFR260 RF coaxial cable at the intended operating frequency.

Practical Microwave Uses for the Mid-Size Format

The CFR260 coaxial cable can be assessed for OEM RF modules and laboratory interconnects using the specified attenuation, propagation, thermal, and routing data. For the CFR260 coaxial cable, the available data allow RF engineers to assess the cable against link margin, phase delay, thermal exposure, and packaging constraints. When alternatives to the CFR260 raw coaxial cable are required, additional construction and performance options are available in the Flexible Coaxial Cables portfolio.

Mechanc Shanghai Information Technology Co., Ltd. documents the CFR260 RF coaxial cable with product-specific parameters so that RF engineers can evaluate the interconnect against system bandwidth, loss budget, power, thermal, and packaging requirements. Within the product portfolio, this configuration is designated as the CFR260 raw coax.
