N Male to N Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Built with CFT500MWP6 Coaxial Cable
The N Male to N Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCBS-AS-NMNM-1M — is designed for professional RF and microwave laboratories that require highly stable, low-loss interconnects up to 6 GHz. This high-performance test cable is built using Mechanc’s CFT500MWP6 coaxial cable, equipped with ultra-flexible cable armor (reference AS6211), a phase-stable variation of the CFT500MW phase-stable 26.5 GHz ultra-flexible precision test coaxial cable. The assembly is terminated with two rugged N male connectors (reference N-JCFT500MWP6AS6211-1). It delivers 0.89 dB typical insertion loss, a 1.2 typical VSWR and 1.25 maximum VSWR, combined with a robust 10.8 mm outer diameter optimized for long-term use in demanding test environments.
Phase-Stable Performance for Precision RF and Microwave Testing
Engineered for accurate and repeatable RF measurements, the PCBS-AS-NMNM-1M maintains controlled impedance and low reflection throughout its DC–6 GHz operating range. With ±2.5° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability, this N-type test cable ensures consistent measurement results during vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration, S-parameter characterization, amplifier testing, and long-duration RF system verification. The rugged N male interfaces support reliable, repeatable mating in high-cycle laboratory and production setups.

Ultra-Flexible Armored Design for Demanding Lab Environments
The CFT500MWP6 coaxial cable combines a phase-stable construction with an ultra-flexible geometry that minimizes phase and amplitude drift during bending, routing, or repositioning. The integrated AS6211 cable armor offers enhanced mechanical protection while preserving flexibility, making the assembly suitable for frequent handling and tight routing paths. With a 10.8 mm diameter, 108 mm minimum bend radius, and a bend life of 80,000 cycles (typical), this N-type test cable is built for durability in intensive RF test environments. The operating temperature range of –40 °C to +80 °C supports stable performance under varying laboratory conditions.
Reliable Interconnect for Advanced RF and Microwave Systems
As part of Mechanc’s Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series, the PCBS-AS-NMNM-1M is fully characterized for VSWR, insertion loss stability, and mechanical endurance. All assemblies are produced to meet stringent quality and environmental requirements, including REACH and RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term reliability for high-frequency test and measurement applications.
