SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly – Built with CFT240H6 Coaxial Cable
The SMA Male to SMA Male High-Performance RF Test & Measurement Cable Assembly — model TCDS-SMSM-1M — is engineered as a compact, reliable RF test interconnect for applications up to 6 GHz. This assembly is constructed using Mechanc’s CFT240H6 coaxial cable, a phase-stable performance variant of the CFT240 Phase-Stable 67 GHz Precision Test Coaxial Cable. Each end features precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT240H6-1), ensuring secure, low-reflection mating for SMA-based RF setups.
Reliable RF Performance up to 6 GHz
The TCDS-SMSM-1M supports a continuous DC–6 GHz operating band, providing stable impedance and consistent return-loss behavior. With a 1.15 typical VSWR and a 1.78 dB typical insertion loss over its 1 meter length, this assembly is ideal for VNA sweeps, S-parameter verification, return-loss checks, and general-purpose microwave measurements.
Phase-Stable CFT240H6 Construction for Precision Testing
The CFT240H6 coaxial cable minimizes electrical drift during bending, repositioning, or thermal changes. It delivers ±4° mechanical phase stability and ±0.06 dB amplitude stability, ensuring consistent, repeatable measurements across long-term usage. Its ultra-compact 2.4 mm outer diameter, 24 mm minimum bend radius, and 2,000-cycle bend life make it exceptionally well-suited for dense RF test benches and mobile measurement environments. An 81% velocity of propagation supports accurate time-domain and delay-sensitive analysis across a broad –55 °C to +165 °C operating range.
Precision SMA Interfaces for Consistent Laboratory Use
Each end employs precision SMA-JCFT240H6-1 male connectors designed to provide low-reflection, high-repeatability mating with modern RF instrumentation. These SMA interfaces are ideal for VNAs, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, test fixtures, and automated RF platforms. For more SMA-based assemblies, see the SMA RF Cable Assemblies category.
Qualified for Professional RF & Microwave Test Environments
As part of Mechanc’s TC-series portfolio, each TCDS-SMSM-1M assembly undergoes strict testing for VSWR, insertion loss, phase stability, and mechanical durability. Built in full compliance with REACH and RoHS standards, this cable provides long-term reliability for advanced RF and microwave measurement systems.
