Flexible SMA Cable Assemblies Designed for Compact RF Systems

Pasternack has introduced a new line of high-performance flexible SMA cable assemblies engineered specifically for space-constrained RF and microwave applications. These ultra-flexible cables offer excellent phase stability, low loss, and superior mechanical durability while maintaining a small bend radius, making them ideal for modern compact RF designs.

Key Features

• Ultra-flexible construction with tight bend radius
• Excellent phase stability over flexure
• Low insertion loss and VSWR
• High-frequency performance up to 18 GHz
• Rugged yet flexible jacket for long-term reliability
• Standard and custom lengths available

The new cable assemblies are particularly well-suited for applications where space is limited and cable routing is challenging, such as inside compact enclosures, test fixtures, and portable RF equipment.

Target Applications

• 5G and mmWave test systems
• Aerospace and defense equipment
• Satellite and communication systems
• Medical RF devices
• Industrial microwave systems
• Compact instrumentation and lab setups

With their combination of flexibility, electrical performance, and reliability, these SMA cable assemblies help engineers overcome design challenges in today’s increasingly dense RF systems.
