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

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

The SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCBN-AP-SMSM-1M — is engineered for advanced RF and microwave measurement environments that demand highly stable phase performance, low insertion loss, and exceptional repeatability. This assembly is manufactured 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. The assembly is terminated with two precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT500MWP18AP6283S-1). Designed for operation from DC to 18 GHz, it delivers low-loss transmission with 1.43 dB typical insertion loss, a maximum VSWR of 1.25, and a flexible, durable 8.3 mm outer diameter optimized for dense and demanding test environments.

Exceptional Phase Stability and Repeatable High-Frequency Performance

Purpose-built for precision RF and microwave analysis, the PCBN-AP-SMSM-1M maintains stable impedance and low reflection across its full operating bandwidth. With ±3° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability, it ensures consistently reliable results for VNA calibration, S-parameter measurement, RF component evaluation, time-domain characterization, and broadband signal integrity verification. Its SMA male interfaces provide repeatable mating accuracy ideal for high-cycle laboratory workflows.

Low-Loss Ultra-Flexible Design with Integrated Cable Armor

The CFT500MWP18 coaxial cable integrates an ultra-flexible, phase-stable construction designed to maintain electrical consistency during bending, movement, or thermal fluctuation. The AP6283S cable armor enhances durability and provides mechanical protection for high-usage laboratory environments. With an 8.3 mm diameter and 83 mm bend radius, this assembly offers an optimal balance of flexibility and ruggedness, supporting long-term performance across a broad –55 °C to +125 °C temperature range.

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-SMSM-1M undergoes complete testing for VSWR, insertion loss, mechanical endurance, and phase stability. All assemblies meet REACH and RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term reliability and environmental responsibility for high-frequency test and measurement applications.
