SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Built with CFT500MWP6 Coaxial Cable
The SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCBS-AP-SMSM-1M — is designed for precision RF measurement environments that require stable phase performance, low-loss operation, and reliable electrical repeatability up to 6 GHz. It is manufactured using Mechanc’s CFT500MWP6 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-JCFT500MWP6AP6283S-1). Its 8.3 mm outer diameter and rugged construction make it ideal for repeatable, stable performance in dense microwave laboratory setups.
Stable Phase Performance and Low VSWR for RF & Microwave Measurement
Optimized for low- and mid-band RF characterization, the PCBS-AP-SMSM-1M maintains dependable impedance behavior across the entire DC–6 GHz operating band. With a 1.15 typical VSWR and 1.20 maximum VSWR, this assembly ensures clean, consistent signal reflection characteristics crucial for accurate VNA calibration, scalar/vector measurement, RF component characterization, and broadband signal-path verification. Its ±2.5° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability deliver highly repeatable performance under movement and mechanical stress. The SMA male terminations guarantee precise mating accuracy for high-cycle laboratory workflows.
