Description
The 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCA35-AP-3.5M3.5M-1M — is designed for broadband microwave test environments that require excellent phase stability, low-loss transmission, and repeatable electrical performance. It is built using Mechanc’s CFT500MWP coaxial cable, equipped with dedicated cable armor (reference CFT500MWP-ARMOR), an ultra-flexible phase-stable variation of the CFT500MW phase-stable 26.5 GHz ultra-flexible precision test coaxial cable with FEP jacket. The assembly is terminated with two precision 3.5 mm male connectors (reference 3.5-JCFT500MWP-1). Designed for operation up to 26.5 GHz, it offers excellent phase stability, low insertion loss, and a maximum VSWR of 1.35 within a flexible 5.0 mm outer diameter structure ideal for dense test setups.
Optimized for RF, microwave, and broadband test systems, the PCA35-AP-3.5M3.5M-1M provides stable impedance control and low reflection across the full operating band. Its precision 3.5 mm interfaces ensure highly repeatable mating accuracy, making this assembly well-suited for VNA calibration, microwave module testing, S-parameter verification, and high-speed signal-path characterization.

The CFT500MWP coaxial cable uses a phase-stable construction optimized for minimal drift under bending or temperature fluctuation. Integrated cable armor (CFT500MWP-ARMOR) ensures stable phase performance during handling, repeated motion, and tight routing. The 5.0 mm outer diameter maintains a balance between flexibility and ruggedness for long-term laboratory use.
As part of Mechanc’s Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series, the PCA35-AP-3.5M3.5M-1M undergoes complete testing for VSWR, insertion loss, and phase stability. All assemblies are fully REACH and RoHS compliant, ensuring long-term reliability and environmental conformity for professional RF measurement applications.
