18 GHz Ultra-Compact Low-VSWR General Purpose Flexible RF Cable I16
P/N: I16
– Ultra-compact cable for chassis routing
– Flexible alternative to semi-rigid cable
– Low VSWR path for signal integrity
– Blue FEP jacket for protected routing
– Built for modules and phased arrays
Engineering Note
The I16 is an ultra-compact general purpose flexible RF coaxial cable for chassis interconnects, module routing, phased array radar, and semi-rigid cable replacement. Its 1.45 mm blue FEP jacket, solid PTFE dielectric, silver-plated copper conductor, and silver-plated shielding structure support 18 GHz signal paths with confirmed low VSWR design, 300 V.DC dielectric withstand voltage, and >90 dB shielding effectiveness.
