Microwave cables take temperature
extremes
A new range of metal-jacketed microwave cables use high-purity silicon dioxide which resists temperatures in excess of 900C.
With the increase in demand for high-reliability microwave cable assemblies, Precision Measurements has developed metal-jacketed microwave cables using high-purity silicon dioxide which resists temperatures in excess of 900C Special processing developed by Precision Measurements has resulted in low-relative-permittivity microwave cable which can be operated in excess of 20GHz and provide a low insertion loss and VSWR

2mm latch/eject header provides a robust system solution when mated with 3M IDC 1522 series sockets and 3M 2mm moulded assemblies series.
Specially formulated glass developed by Precision Measurements is used in manufacturing microwave connectors that are used in manufacturing microwave cable assemblies which provide a low loss and resistance to extreme temperatures.
The cable assemblies are completely hermetic and provide the best choice for hostile environments.
The performance of Precision Measurements silicon dioxide (SIO2) microwave cable is unmatched by cables manufactured using PTFE.
Where all Teflon-insulated cables change their electrical performance in extreme temperatures, silicon dioxide microwave cable remains stable, indicating an insignificant change in insertion loss and a very small change in phase as a function of temperature.
These unique characteristics provide a solution for precision measurements microwave cable assemblies to be used in various types of aircraft, radars, decoys and electronic counter measure systems.
