18 GHz 047 BeCu Cryogenic RF Coaxial Cable G12E-BeCu
P/N: G12E-BeCu
- For lower-loss cryogenic RF signal paths
- BeCu conductors support attenuation control
- 1.20 mm OD for stable low-temperature routing
- Suited to quantum readout and microwave test
- Rated to 18 GHz for cable selection
Engineering Note
The G12E-BeCu is a 1.20 mm OD beryllium copper cryogenic RF coaxial cable designed for lower-loss low-temperature RF signal routing. Its construction uses a beryllium copper inner conductor, PTFE dielectric, and beryllium copper outer conductor, making it suitable for cryogenic RF paths where attenuation control and thermal conduction must be evaluated together. The 18 GHz operating frequency is intended for preliminary cable selection; final assembly performance may depend on connector interface, cable length, routing form, thermal anchoring, and operating temperature stages.
