2 K-Jumper DC to 35 GHz Low Cost Mode Free DC to 35 GHz Hand-formable High Isolation (Standard Tolerance is ± One Degree per GHz; See Page 52) High Frequency K-Jumpers are low cost, high frequency cable assemblies primarily used as high frequency jumpers, which use a patent-pending 2.9mm compatible connector. The cable itself is a modified.141 hand-formable cable that is screened for mode free performance to 35 GHz. The 2.9mm compatible connector also mates with 3.5mm and SMA series connectors. Cable Types Cable Types Diameter Jacket Material Shield Tin Filled Copper Composite Jacket Mauve Polyolefin Cable Marking Standard Cable - no marking. Custom assemblies may be marked with shrink tubing on ends of cable or directly onto the jacketed cable. Brady labels may also be applied.

4 Space Qualified Semi-Rigid Cable Assembly Space-Flex DC to 60 GHz Florida RF Labs Space-Flex Semi-Rigid cable assemblies are Space Qualified and manufactured in our ISO 9001 and ISO factory. The 086 diameter is the most common size Semi- Rigid cable and matches well with miniature high frequency connectors such as 2.4mm and SMP. The 141 cable matches well with 2.9mm and SMA connectors. Assemblies are provided straight or bent to customer requirements. Cable Types DIA.

This pre-bent right angle is lower in cost and has no electrical performance degradation as with standard right angles.

6 T-Flex 405 / 402 DC to 18 GHz Flexible Alternative to RG405 and RG402 High Shielding Effectiveness Uses Standard Direct Solder Connectors Stainless Steel Connectors Available (Standard Tolerance is ± 1.5 Degree per GHz; See Page 52) T-Flex is a double-shielded, FEP jacketed, flexible alternative to semi-rigid cable types. It allows for the use of standard direct solder connectors designed for RG405 and RG402 cables. T-Flex is an excellent substitute for hard lines where the cable will see some flexture.

8 INC. Labs Delay Lines, Baluns, and Transformers Coaxial Delay Lines Florida RF Labs can provide coaxial delay lines made from semi-rigid and flexible cables, which are ideal for providing short delays in RF and microwave signals. Our custom made delay lines can be manufactured to meet the customers mechanical, electrical and environmental specifications. Time delay, electrical loss and mechanical envelope will dictate cable size and type. When inquiring about delay lines, please specify the following information: Time delay in nanoseconds with tolerance Mechanical envelope Connector Types VSWR and insertion loss limits Temperature Special environmental requirements Frequency Baluns and Transformers Coaxial Transmission Baluns (Balanced-to-Unbalanced Splitters/Combiners) and Transformers are the lowest loss approach to power splitting and combining in balanced amplifier designs and other single ended impedance transformation applications. These devices can be formed as coils, serpentine or around other components to fit your optimum layout. Consult the factory for specific applications. 42
