2 TRUflex PWR Series Specifying High Power RF Cable ssemblies To simplify the process of specifying an RF high power cable assembly, follow the step-by-step instructions below. Please refer to the cable assembly below, which illustrates the various elements to specify. Prior to selecting a cable and connectors please refer to the cable/connector selection matrix charts to determine available combinations. dditional reference data has been provided to facilitate the proper selection of components for your application including frequency range and power handling. Ensure that the lower rating of either the connector interface or coaxial cable will support the overall power specification for the assembly. It is important to note that several factors such as temperature and altitude will potentially de-rate the overall power handling capability. Instructions Standard Cable ssembly Length Tolerances Lengths in (,70 mm), tolerance = +/- 0. in (.7 mm) Lengths > in (,70 mm), tolerance = +/- % of length B Identify any special marking requirements and their location. Standard marking is TRU part number and date code. C Specify any relevant mechanical/electrical or environmental specifications. D Specify coaxial cable required. Reference coaxial cable chart for attribute data. E Specify the length of the assembly. ssemblies are generally measured from end to end for straight connectors, or from the centerline of right angle connectors, as shown. Connectors shown above are for reference only
