N Male to N Male Phase Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Use CFT500MWP18 Coax

N Male to N Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Built with CFT500MWP18 Coaxial Cable

The N Male to N Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCBN-AP-NMNM-1M — is engineered for professional RF and microwave test environments requiring stable phase behavior, low insertion loss, and highly repeatable electrical performance. It is constructed using Mechanc’s CFT500MWP18 coaxial cable, equipped with dedicated cable armor (reference AP6283S), 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 N male connectors (reference N-JCFT500MWP18AP6283S-1). Designed for operation from DC to 18 GHz, it delivers excellent phase stability, 1.48 dB typical insertion loss, a maximum VSWR of 1.3, and a durable yet flexible 8.3 mm outer diameter suitable for demanding laboratory applications.

Exceptional Phase Stability and Repeatable Microwave Performance

Engineered for broadband precision measurements, the PCBN-AP-NMNM-1M ensures stable impedance characteristics and low reflection across its full operating band. With ±3° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability, this assembly enables reliable vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration, component-level S-parameter characterization, amplifier testing, and long-path RF signal validation. Its rugged N-type interfaces provide secure, repeatable mating suitable for high-power and mechanically robust test setups.

Low-Loss Ultra-Flexible Design with Integrated Cable Armor

The CFT500MWP18 coaxial cable incorporates an ultra-flexible, phase-stable design that minimizes drift under bending, motion, or temperature variation. Integrated AP6283S cable armor ensures stable performance during repeated handling and tight routing. Its 8.3 mm diameter and 83 mm bend radius provide an optimal balance of mechanical durability and flexibility for long-term test bench reliability.

Reliable Interconnect for Advanced RF and Microwave Test Systems

As part of Mechanc’s Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series, the PCBN-AP-NMNM-1M undergoes full testing for VSWR, insertion loss, and phase stability. All assemblies comply with REACH and RoHS requirements, ensuring reliable, environmentally responsible performance in high-frequency laboratory and engineering environments.
