Flexline

The cutting-edge technologies in wireless communication, autopilot, aerospace, and defense call for higher frequency and wider bands on cables. Meanwhile, with the test automation development, test cable assemblies applied to the automatic turntable and robotic arms are facing challenges in mobility, connectivity, repeatability, reliability, and durability. Flexline cable adopts a stranded silver-plated copper center conductor, low-density PTFE dielectric, and PTFE intermediate stabilizing layer. Besides its excellent flexibility, from DC to 50GHz, it sustains a nice mechanical phase and amplitude stability. The reliable connector design and advanced assembly processes also endow its excellent electrical performance and long service life. It is widely employed in 5G R&D, antenna far and near field, mass production tests etc

Features:

 Multi-core stranded conductor- long service life against repeated bending

 Excellent mechanical phase and amplitude stability

 Armored series optional, compression and torsion resistance

 Super flexible, low torque

 Frequency range: DC-50 GHz
