SMA Male to SMA Male Phase Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Use CFT360P6 Coax

SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly – Built with CFT360P6 Coaxial Cable

The SMA Male to SMA Male Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assembly — model PCCS-AP-SMSM-1M — is designed for RF and microwave laboratory environments requiring stable phase performance, low insertion loss, and repeatable electrical behavior up to 6 GHz. The assembly is built using Mechanc’s CFT360P6 coaxial cable, protected by AP4060S cable armor, a low-loss, phase-stable variation of the CFT360 phase-stable 50 GHz low-loss precision test coaxial cable. It is terminated with two high-performance SMA male connectors (reference SMA-JCFT360P6AP4060S-1), providing a robust, repeatable interconnect solution for demanding test setups.

Stable Phase Performance and Optimized VSWR for RF Precision Testing

Engineered for accurate RF measurements, the PCCS-AP-SMSM-1M maintains excellent impedance control and minimal reflection across its DC–6 GHz operating range. The assembly offers a 1.2 typical VSWR and 1.25 maximum VSWR, along with 1.43 dB typical insertion loss. With ±2.5° mechanical phase stability and ±0.03 dB amplitude stability, it ensures predictable, repeatable results during VNA calibration, S-parameter evaluation, and microwave signal integrity verification.

More assemblies using this connector type can be found in the SMA RF Cable Assemblies series.

Ultra-Flexible Low-Loss Construction with Integrated Cable Armor

The CFT360P6 coaxial cable offers a highly flexible, phase-stable architecture derived from the CFT360 low-loss precision test coaxial cable, engineered to maintain electrical consistency during cable movement, bending, or temperature variation. The integrated AP4060S armor provides mechanical protection while preserving flexibility for frequent repositioning on test benches. With a compact 6.1 mm outer diameter, 61 mm minimum bend radius, and a 15,000-cycle bend life, this assembly ensures long-term reliability. The wide operating temperature range of –55 °C to +125 °C supports stable performance in demanding laboratory conditions.

Reliable Interconnect for Advanced RF and Microwave Systems

As part of Mechanc’s Phase-Stable Precision Test RF Cable Assemblies – PC Series, the PCCS-AP-SMSM-1M undergoes full testing for VSWR, insertion-loss stability, and mechanical endurance. All assemblies comply with REACH and RoHS requirements, ensuring long-term reliability for precision RF and microwave measurement applications.
