SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Use CFT360H26 Coax

SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Built with CFT360H26 Coaxial Cable

The SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly — model TCB35-SMSM-1M — is engineered for precise, repeatable RF and microwave measurements up to 26.5 GHz. This 1 meter assembly is built using Mechanc’s CFT360H26 coaxial cable, a rugged, phase-stable evolution of the CFT360 Phase-Stable 50 GHz Ruggedized Precision Test Coaxial Cable. It is terminated on both ends with high-precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT360H26-1), ensuring secure and repeatable mating for SMA-based RF instrumentation.

Reliable Microwave Performance up to 26.5 GHz

The TCB35-SMSM-1M provides dependable performance from DC to 26.5 GHz, offering the stable impedance and low reflection required for accurate RF testing. With a 1.3 typical VSWR and 2.65 dB typical insertion loss per meter, the assembly delivers clean, consistent transmission paths for VNA calibration, S-parameter evaluation, component characterization, and broadband microwave verification on SMA-based test benches.

Phase-Stable, Rugged CFT360H26 Construction

The CFT360H26 coaxial cable is designed for electrical stability under bending, routing, or repeated movement. It delivers ±6° mechanical phase stability and ±0.06 dB amplitude stability, ensuring reliable results throughout extended measurement cycles. A 3.6 mm outer diameter, 36 mm minimum bend radius, and 10,000-cycle bend life make the assembly suitable for compact, high-density test configurations. With an 82% velocity of propagation, it supports precise time-domain and phase-sensitive measurements across a wide –55 °C to +165 °C operating range.

Precision SMA Interfaces for Laboratory & Production Testing

Both ends of the assembly use precision SMA-JCFT360H26-1 male connectors engineered for low reflection and consistent mating across the 26.5 GHz band. These durable SMA interfaces make the cable ideal for repeated connections to VNAs, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and automated RF platforms.
