SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Use CFT360H18 Coax

SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Built with CFT360H18 Coaxial Cable

The SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly — model TCCN-SMSM-1M — is designed for dependable and repeatable microwave performance up to 18 GHz. This 1 meter assembly is manufactured using Mechanc’s CFT360H18 coaxial cable, a high-stability, ruggedized variant of the CFT360 Phase-Stable 50 GHz Ruggedized Precision Test Coaxial Cable. Each end is equipped with precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT360H18-1), ensuring secure, low-reflection interfaces for SMA-based RF systems.

Reliable 18 GHz RF Performance

Supporting a broad DC–18 GHz operating band, the TCCN-SMSM-1M delivers the impedance stability and low reflection required for modern RF laboratories. With a 1.15 typical VSWR and a 2.17 dB typical insertion loss per meter, the assembly provides clean transmission paths suitable for VNA calibration, S-parameter evaluation, amplifier testing, and general-purpose broadband RF analysis.

Phase-Stable CFT360H18 Cable for Precision Measurements

The CFT360H18 coaxial cable is engineered to maintain electrical precision during bending, movement, and repeated handling. Its ±5° mechanical phase stability and ±0.05 dB amplitude stability support highly repeatable measurements across intensive test cycles. With a compact 3.6 mm outer diameter, 36 mm minimum bend radius, and a durable 10,000-cycle bend life, the assembly is suited for dense test environments. An 74% velocity of propagation ensures excellent time-domain and phase-sensitive measurement accuracy across a wide –55 °C to +165 °C temperature range.

Precision SMA Interfaces for Microwave Accuracy

Each end of the TCCN-SMSM-1M uses precision SMA-JCFT360H18-1 male connectors designed for low-reflection performance and consistent mechanical mating. These connectors make the assembly ideal for SMA-based VNAs, synthesizers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and automated RF test systems.
