Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies for Laboratory and VNA Applications

The Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series are designed for high-accuracy test and measurement environments where repeatable electrical performance is essential. Covering frequencies up to 100 GHz, the PC Series delivers exceptional phase stability, amplitude consistency, and mechanical robustness required for precise Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements and calibration procedures.

Exceptional Phase Stability and Low Loss Performance

Each PC Series assembly combines CFT or equivalent phase-stable coaxial cable with precision-grade connectors such as 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, and 1.85 mm interfaces. The typical phase deviation remains below ±6° after multiple flexures, with amplitude stability better than ±0.1 dB. Low insertion loss and excellent VSWR (typically ≤ 1.25) ensure reliable signal transmission across repeated measurement cycles.

High Flex Life and Repeatability for Intensive Testing

Built for intensive laboratory use, the PC Series Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies feature rugged stainless-steel connectors and reinforced PTFE or FEP dielectric jackets. They offer outstanding bend repeatability over thousands of connection cycles without compromising phase or amplitude stability. These assemblies maintain full performance between −55 °C and +165 °C, providing long-term reliability in demanding test and calibration environments.

Compliance and Customization Options

All PC Series RF Test Cable Assemblies are manufactured in full compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations. Mechanc also provides complete in-house customization capability, offering non-standard lengths, bulkhead or right-angle connectors, and optional strain-relief or armor configurations to meet specific laboratory requirements.
