The new high-end product range of MW cables for lab, systems and platform usage. Based on the ultimate technology of MW cables.
The cables are qualified to extreme environmental conditions, and tested to the MIL-Standards below.
The Neoflex family consist of cables up to 12GHz High power 1Kw, 18GHz low loss 0.72 dB/m, and low loss up to 40GHz with 2.5dB/m.
Cable sizes from 3 mm diameter up to 12.2 mm diameter provide a wide range of cables -
The Neoflex cables have a variety of ruggedizedion options and are engineered using the basic cable design and construction to enhance the handling characteristics of the finished assemblies.
Captivated contact terminations provide long-term interface stability.
These assemblies were designed from the ground up to provide reliable microwave connections you can count on.
| Neoflex 160 | The smallest 4 mm cable sized for optimum loss of 2.5dB @ 40 GHz. |
| Neoflex 162STR | High flexibility 4 mm cable with stranded center conductor 1.5dB @ 18 GHz. |
| Neoflex 142 | Optimized 5 mm cable 1.1 dB @18 GHz, the best tradeoff between loss and size. |
| Neoflex 142STR | High flexibility 5 mm cable with stranded center conductor 1.35dB @ 18 GHz. |
| Neoflex 142STR-105 | High flexibility 5.4 mm cable with strandard center conductor. |
| Neoflex 235 | Optimized 6 mm cable 1 dB @18 GHz, the best tradeoff between loss and size. |
| Neoflex 270STR | High flexibility 7 mm cable with stranded center conductor 1dB @ 18 GHz. |
| Neoflex 335i | Optimized 8 mm cable 0.72 dB @ 18 GHz, the best tradeoff between loss and size. |
| Neoflex 450STR | Optimized for low loss 0.42 dB @ 12 GHz performance with great power handling. |
| Neoflex 480 | Lowest Loss 0.36 dB @ 10 GHz uses a stranded center conductor to enhance the handling. |
Advantage of the Neoflex MW cable family
Wide temperature range
-55 to +200 °C for most cable types
-55 to +200 °C for most connector types
Mechanical protection
A wide range of armors are available for most Neoflex cable types.
Chemical stability Thanks to excellent materials (FEP).
Lowest losses and excellent stability vs. Temperature
0.2 dB/m @ 18 GHz for Neoflex
Lowest Phase over temperature
650 ppm over -55 to +75 deg. C
High power performance
Neoflex LLEF335i withstanding
400 Watt CW @ 18 GHz
Low weight, small diameter
Neoflex family of cables use expanded PTFE tape which reduces the weight of any given cable by 20-35 % as compared to other technologies while still maintaining same electrical performance.
Likewise smaller diameter cables are achieved for same electrical performance vs. thicker cables using other technologies.
Wide frequency range
Neoflex Family from DC up to 40 GHz.
