Description
Clarity 40GHz
McGill Microwave introduces the new RF Coaxial Test Cables – Clarity 40GHz . The latest innovation from Times Microwave Systems USA, Designed to enable new technologies like 5G and cloud computing.
When everything is important, Times Microwave Systems USA’s new Clarity 40GHz Series Metrology Grade Vector and Scalar Analyser RF Coaxial Test Cable Assemblies are the clear choice, with Industry-leading performance and unparalleled value.
This new Clarity 40GHz boasts best-in class RF stability with flexure. The crush and torque resistant steel armor provides uncompromising flexibility. Times Microwave’s engineering team carefully studied how users physically handle test leads. This resulted in adopting a double safeguarded design. An ergonomic strain relief (armored version) for trouble-free, long flex life and SureGrip™ coupling nut for comfort over numerous mating cycles.
Clarity 40GHz RF Coaxial Test Cables – Electrical Performance
Simply put, the new Times Microwave Systems Clarity 40GHz Series offer best-in-the-world Phase and Amplitude Stability performance- at a fraction of the cost of those supplied by the OEM test equipment manufacturers.
The Clarity Test Cables offers the following impressive features:
