Product Overview

VST-L-SMSM-W50-XXXX is a 50 Ω SMA male-to-male phase-stable low-loss RF cable assembly for broadband test and measurement interconnects from DC to 26.5 GHz. The finished assembly is specified for VSWR ≤1.35 through 26.5 GHz and uses the Vinstronics VXW500 / W50 flexible cable platform.

XXXX denotes the assembly length in millimeters. Custom length is supported with defined dimensional tolerances, and insertion loss is documented by RF test report.

Key Engineering Features

DC–26.5 GHz Phase-Stable Low-Loss Test Interconnect

Broadband SMA cable assembly for precision RF and microwave test paths.

SMA Male-to-Male | 50 Ω | VSWR ≤1.35

Finished-assembly interface and return-match specification through 26.5 GHz.

Stable Phase Performance over Temperature

Built on the W50 cable platform, specified for phase stability <750 ppm from -55°C to +85°C.

Low Insertion Loss with RF Test Verification

Finished-assembly insertion loss is referenced to RF test documentation rather than bulk-cable attenuation alone.

High Shielding Effectiveness >90 dB

Shielded construction for controlled RF signal transmission in measurement environments.

Flexible Custom-Length Construction

Ø5.2 mm cable with defined length tolerances and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +165°C.

The values above describe the VXW500 / W50 cable platform. The cable uses a silver-plated copper inner conductor, LD PTFE dielectric, silver-plated inner and outer shields, and a gray FEP jacket. Finished-assembly insertion loss depends on assembly length and connector transitions and should be referenced to the corresponding RF test report.

Representative Measured Performance

Representative 3 m W50 assembly test: S11, S22, insertion loss, and phase response were measured through 26.5 GHz.

VSWR

Representative sampled values remained below the assembly limit of 1.35 through the measured band.

Insertion Loss

Representative measured insertion loss is approximately 0.75 dB @ 1 GHz, 1.87 dB @ 6 GHz, and around 4.0 dB near 26.5 GHz for the supplied 3 m sample.

Measured values are representative of the supplied 3 m test sample and are not presented as universal limits for every assembly length.

Typical Applications

VNA & RF Test Systems

Flexible instrument and DUT interconnection through 26.5 GHz.

Phase-Sensitive Measurements

For RF paths where phase stability and repeatable routing are important.

RF Module & Device Test

Broadband 50 Ω interconnection for component, module, and subsystem evaluation.

Custom-Length Test Routing

Length-configurable assembly for laboratory, production, and system integration.
