0.160″ Semi-Flexible Low-Loss RF Coaxial Cable, 20 GHz Rated

Semi-Flexible Low-Loss Coaxial Cable for 20 GHz RF and Microwave Applications

The CMG160 semi-flexible, low-loss coaxial cable is engineered for high-performance RF and microwave transmission up to 20 GHz . Its large-diameter silver-plated copper or copper-clad steel inner conductor, precision PTFE dielectric, and rugged tinned copper braided outer conductor ensure strong shielding, excellent signal integrity, and consistent mechanical flexibility. Designed for advanced RF modules, instrumentation systems, and tight routing paths, the CMG160 delivers dependable wideband performance in demanding environments.

Stable Electrical Performance for High-Frequency Signal Integrity

The CMG160 coaxial cable maintains a 50 Ω ±1.1 Ω characteristic impedance and provides clean, predictable transmission up to its 20 GHz operating frequency . A 70% velocity of propagation, 4.7 ns/m time delay, and a capacitance of 95 pF/m ensure consistent phase behavior across high-frequency paths. Attenuation remains low across the band—ranging from 0.231 dB/m at 500 MHz to 1.947 dB/m at 20 GHz—supporting efficient signal delivery in microwave assemblies and instrumentation systems. Shielding effectiveness above 100 dB provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference.

Durable Semi-Flexible Construction with Thermal Reliability

Built with a 4.10 mm tinned copper braid, the CMG160 offers strong mechanical durability and semi-flex formability for precise internal routing in RF modules and densely integrated microwave systems . With a 10.00 mm single-bend radius, the cable supports compact installations without sacrificing electrical performance. Designed for operation from −55 °C to +125 °C, the CMG160 meets the thermal demands of aerospace, industrial, and communication environments.

Applications Requiring Flexible, Low-Loss RF Performance

The CMG160 semi-flex coaxial cable is ideal for 20 GHz test platforms, radar and communication modules, microwave instrumentation, and signal routing requiring stable phase behavior and strong shielding. As part of Mechanc’s Low-Loss Semi-Flexible Coaxial Cable Series, it provides dependable electrical performance for R&D, integration, and production systems.

Manufactured by Mechanc Shanghai Information Technology, the CMG160 semi-flexible coaxial cable delivers low-loss transmission, consistent flexibility, and reliable shielding for RF and microwave applications up to 20 GHz. REACH & RoHS compliant.
