SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Use CFT500MWH18 Coax

SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Built with CFT240H18 Coaxial Cable

The SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly — model TCBN-SMSM-1M — is engineered for stable, repeatable RF performance up to 18 GHz. This 1 meter assembly is built using Mechanc’s CFT240H18 coaxial cable, a rugged, phase-stable enhancement of the CFT240 Phase-Stable 67 GHz Precision Test Coaxial Cable. Terminated with precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT240H18-1), it ensures secure, low-reflection mating for SMA-based RF instrumentation.

Reliable RF Performance up to 18 GHz

Supporting a continuous DC–18 GHz operating range, the TCBN-SMSM-1M offers the stable impedance and low reflection required for accurate microwave testing. With a 1.3 typical VSWR and a 1.10 dB typical insertion loss over 1 meter, the assembly provides clean transmission paths for VNA calibration, S-parameter measurements, RF module evaluation, and broadband signal verification in demanding laboratory and production environments.

Phase-Stable CFT240H18 Coax for Precision Test Systems

The CFT240H18 coaxial cable provides excellent stability under bending, motion, and thermal variation. It achieves ±6° mechanical phase stability and ±0.06 dB amplitude stability, ensuring consistent results across repeated test cycles. With a compact 2.4 mm outer diameter, 24 mm minimum bend radius, 2,000-cycle bend life, and an 81% velocity of propagation, the assembly is optimized for long-term reliability and accurate time-domain characterization across a wide –55 °C to +165 °C operating range.

Precision SMA Interfaces for Repeatable RF Connections

Each end features precision SMA-JCFT240H18-1 male connectors that ensure tight mechanical tolerances, secure mating, and low reflection across the 18 GHz band. These interfaces make the assembly ideal for VNAs, synthesizers, spectrum analyzers, and automated microwave test setups. Explore more SMA-based solutions within the SMA RF Cable Assemblies lineup.

Certified for Advanced RF & Microwave Measurement

Every TCBN-series assembly is fully tested for VSWR, insertion loss, phase stability, and mechanical endurance. The TCBN-SMSM-1M is produced to meet stringent REACH and RoHS requirements, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in precision RF and microwave test environments.
