18 GHz 034 BeCu Cryogenic RF Coaxial Cable G08E-BeCu

P/N: G08E-BeCu

  • For compact cryogenic RF signal routing
  • BeCu conductors balance loss and heat load
  • 0.86 mm OD supports tight system routing
  • Suited to quantum readout and low-temperature test
  • Rated to 18 GHz for cable selection

 

Engineering Note
The G08E-BeCu is a 0.86 mm OD beryllium copper cryogenic RF coaxial cable designed for compact low-temperature RF routing where both attenuation and thermal conduction must be considered. Its construction uses a beryllium copper inner conductor, PTFE dielectric, and beryllium copper outer conductor, supporting controlled RF signal paths in cryogenic measurement systems, quantum device readout lines, and low-temperature microwave test setups. The 18 GHz operating frequency is intended for preliminary cable selection; final assembly performance may depend on connector interface, cable length, routing form, and thermal anchoring.
