3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Use CFT360H26 Coax

3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Built with CFT360H26 Coaxial Cable

The 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly — model TCB35-3.5M3.5M-1M — is engineered for reliable microwave measurement up to 26.5 GHz. This assembly is manufactured using Mechanc’s CFT360H26 coaxial cable, a high-stability, ruggedized variation of the CFT360 Phase-Stable 50 GHz Ruggedized Precision Test Coaxial Cable. Both ends are terminated with precision 3.5 mm male connectors (reference 3.5-JCFT360H26-1), ensuring stable, repeatable mating for professional RF laboratories.

Stable Microwave Performance up to 26.5 GHz

The TCB35-3.5M3.5M-1M supports continuous operation from DC to 26.5 GHz, offering controlled impedance and low reflection for precision RF testing. The assembly provides a 1.2 typical VSWR and a 2.56 dB typical insertion loss per meter, enabling accurate broadband signal transmission for VNA calibration, S-parameter sweeps, amplifier testing, and general-purpose microwave characterization.

Rugged, Phase-Stable CFT360H26 Construction

The CFT360H26 cable offers enhanced electrical stability and mechanical robustness, delivering ±6° mechanical phase stability and ±0.06 dB amplitude stability. This ensures consistent performance when the cable is bent, repositioned, or subjected to repeated handling. Its 3.6 mm outer diameter and 36 mm minimum bend radius make it suitable for dense bench layouts, while a 10,000-cycle bend life ensures durability during frequent use. An 82% velocity of propagation supports accurate time-domain analysis and delay-sensitive microwave measurements across a wide –55 °C to +165 °C operating range.

Precision 3.5mm Male Interfaces for Repeatable RF Testing

Each end of the assembly uses precision 3.5-JCFT360H26-1 male connectors designed for low-reflection operation and tight mechanical tolerances throughout the 26.5 GHz band. These interfaces are ideal for repeatable VNA connections, automated test setups, and production validation environments.

Fully Qualified for Advanced RF & Microwave Laboratories

As part of Mechanc’s high-performance TC series, the TCB35-3.5M3.5M-1M undergoes complete testing for VSWR, insertion loss, phase stability, and mechanical endurance. The assembly meets strict REACH and RoHS compliance requirements and is designed to maintain long-term performance in demanding RF and microwave measurement environments.
