coaxial cable 141 smnm model series hand tm case style: kq1668-xx xx= cable length in inches 50 ? dc to 18 ghz the big deal key features feature advantages hand-formable 141 smnm+ series hand-flex cables avoid the need for cable-bending tools, alleviating the risk of damage during bending processes typical of semi-rigid cable assemblies. tight bend radius capable of bending to radii as small as 8mm, the 141 smnm+ series is ideal for making connections in tight spaces and dense system assemblies. excellent return loss typical return loss of 25 db to 6 ghz and 18 db to 18 ghz makes the 141 smnm+ series ideal for interconnecting a wide variety of rf components while minimizing vswr ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. high power handling capability: ? 546w at 0.5 ghz ? 90w at 18 ghz mini-circuits 141 smnm+ series cables can support medium to high rf power levels and can be used in the transmit path. (note: power rating at sea-level). built-in anti-torque nut supports the connector bodies during installation, preventing stress to the connector/cable interface. sma-male / n-male connectors eliminates need for adapter when connecting to sma-f and n-f connectors, reducing cost and improving reliability. product overview 141 smnm+ series hand-flex coaxial cables are ideal for integrating coaxial components and sub-systems in tight spaces and dense system confgurations. sma to n-type connection avoids need for an adapter between components with sma-f and n-f connection ports, reducing system cost and improving reliability. sturdy, hand- formable cable construction maintains shape after bending with bend-radius as small as 8mm. 141 smnm+ coaxial cables have the advantages of wide frequency range and excellent return loss and insertion loss. available in a variety of lengths. ? sma to n-type connection ? excellent return loss and insertion loss ? tight bend radius (8mm min.) ? ideal for interconnect of assembled systems notes a. performance and quality attributes and conditions not expressly stated in this specifcation document are intended to be excluded and do not form a part of this specifcation document. b. electrical specifcations and performance data contained in this specifcation document are based on mini-circuits applicable established test performance criteria and measurement instructions. c. the parts covered by this specifcation document are subject to mini-circuits standard limited warranty and terms and conditions (collectively, standard terms); purchasers of this part are entitled to the rights and benefts contained therein. for a full statement of the standard terms and the exclusive rights and remedies thereunder, please visit mini-circuits website at www.minicircuits.com/mclstore/terms.jsp mini-circuits ? www.minicircuits.com p.o. box 350166, brooklyn, ny 11235-0003 (718) 934-4500 sales@minicircuits.com
