18 GHz 086 Low-Attenuation BeCu Cryogenic RF Coaxial Cable G22-BeCu
P/N: G22-BeCu
- For attenuation-sensitive cryogenic RF paths
- Larger BeCu construction supports lower loss
- 2.17 mm OD for larger-format routing
- Suited to quantum readout and microwave test
- Rated to 18 GHz for cable selection
Engineering Note
The G22-BeCu is a 2.17 mm OD beryllium copper cryogenic RF coaxial cable designed for attenuation-sensitive low-temperature RF signal paths. Its construction uses a beryllium copper inner conductor, PTFE dielectric, and beryllium copper outer conductor, making it suitable for larger cryogenic RF routes where lower insertion loss is a key design requirement. 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.
