Hand Formable / Reformable Cable
•
Helically Formed Aluminum Composite Jacket
•
Replaces Semi-Rigid Cable
•
Phase and Temperature Stable
Midwest Microwave offers these hand formable and reformable semi-
flexible cable assemblies in three popular connector types; SMA, N, and
TNC. The assemblies can be hand formed to almost any reasonable
shape required and re-formed if necessary, eliminating the need for
complex drawings and costly dimensional inspections. The special
construction of this aluminum composite Flexiform cable provides supe-
rior phase amplitude stability, high impact strength, and excellent stability
over temperature. Flexiform has an outer conductor of helically formed
aluminum-tin composite, a solid PTFE dielectric, and a silver plated
copper clad steel center conductor.
