SMA Male to SMA Male Phase Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Use CFT360P18 Coax

SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Built with CFT360P18 Coaxial Cable

The SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCCN-AP-SMSM-1M — is designed for high-performance RF and microwave test environments requiring low insertion loss, excellent phase stability, and repeatable electrical behavior up to 18 GHz. This cable assembly is built using Mechanc’s CFT360P18 coaxial cable, protected by AP4060S cable armor, a phase-stable, ultra-flexible variation of the CFT360 low-loss, phase-stable 50 GHz precision test coaxial cable. The assembly is terminated with two precision SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT360P18AP4060S-1), providing a durable, repeatable interconnect solution for professional laboratory use.

Excellent Phase Stability and Optimized VSWR for Microwave Measurement

Engineered for demanding RF characterization tasks, the PCCN-AP-SMSM-1M maintains clean impedance behavior and low reflection across its DC–18 GHz operating band. With a 1.15 typical VSWR and a 1.25 maximum VSWR, along with 2.08 dB typical insertion loss, the assembly ensures accurate VNA calibration, S-parameter verification, and broadband signal-path analysis. Its ±3° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability support consistent performance during repositioning, bending, or thermal variation.

Ultra-Flexible Low-Loss Cable with Integrated Armor

The CFT360P18 coaxial cable offers a highly flexible phase-stable construction derived from the CFT360 precision low-loss test cable, engineered to minimize electrical drift during bending or movement. The integrated AP4060S cable armor adds protection while maintaining flexibility, making it ideal for intensive laboratory use. With a compact 6.1 mm outer diameter, 61 mm minimum bend radius, and a 15,000-cycle bend life, this assembly delivers long-term mechanical reliability. Its broad –55 °C to +125 °C operating range ensures stable performance across varied test conditions.

Reliable Interconnect for Advanced RF and Microwave Test Systems

As part of Mechanc’s Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series, the PCCN-AP-SMSM-1M undergoes complete testing for VSWR, insertion-loss stability, and mechanical endurance. All assemblies comply with REACH and RoHS standards, ensuring high-reliability performance for precision RF and microwave laboratory applications.
