Description
HeliFoil Cable Assemblies
HeliFoil Ultra low loss, flexible microwave coaxial cable and assemblies provide excellent performance over the DC-18 GHz frequency range. HeliFoil cable comes in four different sizes, with options of stranded centre conductors for better flexibility.
All sizes provide lowest attenuation, excellent phase stability, broad operating temperature range and high power handling, making them a good choice for interconnect and testing applications in both field and laboratory conditions.
HeliFoil Features & Benefits:
- Lowest Insertion Loss Available, DC-18GHz
- Ultra Stable Loss, Phase and VSWR with Flexing
- Excellent Phase Tracking Performance over Temperature
- Extremely Flexible, Low Minimum Bend Radius
- Superior Shielding Effectiveness (>100 dB)
