GORETM Mini-CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies for Microwave & RF Test STABLE, DURABLE, PRECISE

In 1958, W. L. Gore & Associates was founded with the mission to develop new capabilities GORE TM Mini-CP Internally Ruggedized Microwave Cable Assemblies are available in three common connection types, in addition to customized configurations: based on fluorocarbon polymers, especially polytetrafluoroethylene SMA (PTFE) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (eptfe). For over 50 years, Gore continues to create innovative, standardsetting products that are revolutionary in their effect. Gore products cross a variety of industries Precision N from high-performance fabrics used in the most hostile environments, to stent grafts that repair threatening aneurysms inside the human body, to electronic components used in outer space exploration. 7/16 Gore builds our heritage by developing innovative products, that perform in the harshest conditions, and meet rigorous, fitnessfor-use testing.

The Gore Advantage Reduce Your Total Cost of Test GORE Mini-CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies for Microwave & RF Test are a reliable solution for production testing of RF components, devices, and modules as well as system test. Due to the unique, internally ruggedized coaxial structure and robust connector termination, GORE Mini- CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies offer excellent durability and repeatability while remaining lightweight and flexible. The superior service-life reduces the measurements, such as: Base station module tuning and validation RF production test Electromagnetic compliance testing Wireless telecommunications module testing Automated test equipment (ATE) Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) Bench test systems need for periodic replacement and lowers the overall cost of test. GORE Mini- CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies provide you peace of mind when reliable and repeatable measurement and equipment uptime are critical. Maximize Your System Performance When failure is not an option... GORE TM Microwave Cable Assemblies are durable, precise, and stable for accurate, reliable and repeatable measurement. Gore s Fitness-For-Use Testing Commitment Engineers today face increasing challenges when designing electronic devices for consumer, military, or business markets.

General Features and Benefits Features Industry leading electrical performance Precise, stable and repeatable measurements Excellent phase and amplitude stability Low insertion loss, return loss/vswr Precision phase matching available Extended thermal cycling or vacuum/outgassing compliance options available Unique, internally ruggedized cable design Braided Jacket Outer Binder Torque Resistant Braid Crush Protection Member Excellent durability Crush, torque & kink resistant Extremely flexible Light weight Minimum bend radius to 1.0 (25.4mm) Benefits Improve test accuracy Eliminate false readings and improve product yield rate Increase test calibration intervals Lengthen service life Minimize equipment downtime Decrease total test cost Reduce on-hand spare parts inventory Inner Jacket Inner Braid Outer Conductor GORE TM eptfe Dielectric Center Conductor FLEXIBILITY GORE Mini-CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies are highly flexible; yet do not suffer from the typical performance degradation associated with flexing semi-rigid and traditionally designed flexible assemblies. The internally ruggedized design allows for a 1 in. (25.4 mm) minimum bend radius for these assemblies without affecting cable performance and springback is virtually zero. RUGGEDIZATION We flexed the GORE Mini-CP Internally Ruggedized Cable Assemblies 90 degrees then reverse bent them 180 degrees. The stranded center conductor cables performed beyond 25,000 cycles (50,000 bends). The same assemblies were then torqued 10,000 times, 5,000 clockwise and 5,000 counterclockwise. The assemblies still met specification.
