Samtec Nitrowave High-Performance RF Cable Assemblies
Samtec Nitrowave High-Performance Microwave RF Cable Assemblies are critical for maintaining stable phase and amplitude performance in high-frequency signal transmission systems. These RF cable assemblies feature low-loss coaxial construction with a Dynamic Performance Layer (DPL), low-density PTFE dielectric, advanced shielding, and silver-plated conductive elements to improve stability during flexure. The Nitrowave microwave RF cable assemblies offer robust mechanical and environmental properties and operate within a temperature range from -65°C to +125°C. These cables provide 50Ω impedance, 77% of velocity of propagation, and find applications in datacom, instrumentation, aerospace, and defense.
