It 1s the most practical and beneficial method for achieving low loss, total shielding at or neat theoratical value elimination of radiation leakage @ lowest possible attenuation IM unequaled SWA oertormance above 12 GHz |B miniaturization of power componentry With Micro-Coax® Semi Rigid Coax Cable, microwave signals can be delivered with maximum power handiing efficiency and minimum interference in a very small configuration The ourstanding performance charactoristics of Micro.Coax® Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cable include | Workabilty: It's easily bent, coiled, striped, machined. soldered, or connected without impairing performance Ends can be rapidly and reliably prepared 1 Attenuation A solid center conductor provides: the optimum geometrical surface for transmission ML Impedance Matching: Low SWR. The dielectric 1s con: trolled to exacting tolerances, thus mnimizng tallected cower loss 1 Shividing: Isolation greater than 130 dB. Vinually no extraneous signal pick-up lm Packaging: Metallic tubular outer conductor offers minimum size and maximum outer conductor ntegrty Cop per jackets can be soldered directly to circuit boards TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR SEMI-RIGID COAXIAL CABLE ‘Semi-tigid coaxial cable finds application in frequency ranges from 500 mogahert2 (500 MM2| through 65 gigahortz (65.0 G2) and beyone Almost any system designed for 600 megahertz and above. and in need of good aperational performance and total shielding, can utiize semi-rigid coax. Semi~igid lines and fabricated assemblies are used in high-speed computer systems, medical electronics, communications systems, and nuclear power plants. In componentry, semi-rigid coax is used in oscillators and amoliters, printed circut boards, delay ines, ‘and capacitor sections ‘Semi-Rigid Coax is also used in CATV transmission systems. Whete it haips to elimnate crosstalk, resulting in better recea. tion with less interference DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR CABLE COMPONENTS. Micro-Coax® Sam Rigid Coaxial Cable san assembly of thras a tubular metal dielectric oF insulating materia 1 5 metalic center conductor Each of these parts has options as to material, size, and in most cases, configutatons, as wil be explamad' in this catalog Cable components, both conductars and insulation, can be Closely controlled to inner and outer damoters, and assembled in such a manner that tolerances are maintained through the entire cable length This s tue even when secondary opera. tions, such as bending oF coiling, are involved. Thus, the best practicable performance criteria can be established and 4 Micro-Coax®, 206 Jones Blvd., Pottstown, PA 19464-3465 USA — 610/495-0110 "FAX: 610/495-6656 E-mail: sales@micro-coax.comPART NUMBER DESIGNATION: The UT* part number designation is easy to under- stand because it is simple and short, especially for standard cable.

They're rugged and completely RF shielded, just like semi-rigid cable. But they're also flexible, so you can easily formthem intonearly any shape by hand, You won't have to include them on drawings or tool up to bend them. Just form them, connect them, and torque them up. It's that simple ALUMILINE cables are incredibly versatile. Theyreplace semiigidsizetorsize, sothey're perfect for every semi-rigid application. They eliminate crosstalk, so they're a great choice when you're replacing HG-type cable in an enclosure. And they deliver performance equal to the best microwave cables...for a lot less money. MICRO-COAX has developed two types of ALUMILINE, each one designed to serve specific applications. Solid PTFE ALUMILINE has a solid PTFE dielec- tric, meets MIL-C-17 spec for spec, and accepts standard connectors. Low-densty ALUMILINE offers the highest level of performance. I's ex- tremely phase stable because the low-density dielectric won't expand with temperature. Andithaslowerloss, greater power handling ability, and op- erates overagreaterrange of operating temperatures than MIL-C-17 cables. ALUMILINE is tin-plated for easy sol: dering, and is available with a 0.086-in. diameter for operation to 61 GHz, a0.141-in. diameter for operation to 34 GHz, of a 0.047. in, diameter for operation to 115 GHz So, before you design-in semi-rigid cables, check outthe drop-in versatility of ALUMILINE cables from MICRO-COAX. They're perfect when you're caught between a rack and a tight space.
