1 Phase Tested Coaxial Cable Assemblies

2 Lab-Flex T Series Phase Tested Coaxial Cable Assemblies Lab-Flex T Series, specifically designed for Radar and Test applications requiring precise phase stability over temperature. Features and Benefits Smiths Interconnect s Lab-Flex T product portfolio provides customers with a solution for applications requiring critical signal timing. The combination of repeatable, consistent performance and high reliability products translates to lower cost of ownership while improving system performance. The benefits enable customers to be more competitive with support of an established technology partner. The Lab-Flex T Series is a unique design specifically tailored to minimize phase change when subjected to a wide range of temperatures. It also has a very stable nature around room temperature. As such, Radar, Test & Measurement applications are ideal for this product line. Up to GHz Phase vs. Temp testing available on request including tracking cable pairs Temperature stable foam dielectric for minimum phase change Phased Matched Pairs and Sets available (standard tolerance is +/- one degree per GHz or +/-2.8 picoseconds) Applications Radar, Tx, Rx, links of same electrical length over temperature Commercial and Military markets Test & Measurement Space, GEO/MEO/LEO and Small Satellites All products have gone through extensive qualification testing in order to validate today s rigorous application requirements per customer and industry. The T series assemblies are made with a special Foam Fluoropolymer insulation to minimize phase deviation over a wide temperature range while all but eliminating the Knee at room temperature. The attenuation characteristics are similar to low loss PTFE due to the foam insulator design. The T, 1T, and 1T products represent the most common sizes needed for today s applications. Test reports are available on request. 2
