What if an RF cable could survive constant bending and movement in cramped systems without sacrificing signal integrity or long term reliability?
Amphenol RF has expanded its coaxial cable assembly portfolio with new in series SMA cable assemblies built on high flex RG-58 cable. The assemblies are designed for applications where limited installation space, frequent movement, and cable durability are key operational requirements.
The assemblies combine SMA connectors with high flex RG-58 cable to support reliable RF performance in dynamic environments such as automation systems, communication infrastructure, and RF laboratory setups. According to the company, the cable uses a fine wire stranded copper center conductor along with a tinned copper braid shield to improve flexibility while maintaining mechanical strength during repeated movement.
One of the primary advantages of the new assemblies is their ability to maintain electrical consistency even when subjected to constant bending or tight routing conditions. This makes them suitable for systems where cables are frequently repositioned or installed in compact layouts with constrained bend radii. The assemblies are rated for 50 ohm operation and support frequencies up to 3 GHz.
The cable assemblies are available in standard lengths ranging from 12 inches to 3 meters, allowing integration across a wide range of RF applications. By focusing on flexibility and mechanical endurance, the assemblies are intended to reduce wear related performance degradation commonly seen in high movement cable installations.
The launch also adds to Amphenol RF’s broader portfolio of pre configured coaxial cable assemblies designed for 50 ohm RF systems operating in space constrained or mechanically demanding environments.
