The dB Miser™ 130 from Teledyne Storm Microwave is a cost-effective, low-loss cable assembly that operates up to 50 GHz. It provides excellent amplitude stability with flexure and stable performance over the operating temperature range. The cable has a diameter of 3.23 mm and a minimum bend radius of 15.9 mm (static) and 31.8 mm (dynamic). It has increased thermal stability, reduced leakage, and meets the challenging system gain or signal-to-noise requirements. The cable has attenuation of less than 0.959 dB/ft, and a VSWR of 1.35:1. It can handle 348 W of average power, has a velocity of propagation of 84%, and phase stability (vs flexure) of ±2.7°. It is available with SMA, SMK (2.92mm), SMK (2.92 mm), 2.4 mm, and 2.4 mm connectors (straight plug/straight jack).
The dB Miser™ 130 provides a shielding effectiveness of more than 90 dB. It has a silver-plated copper center conductor followed by an expanded PTFE dielectric layer, a helically wrapped SPC flat wire shield, and a PTFE layer. This is followed by a silver-plated copper braid and extruded blue FEP jacket standard (blue LSZH (low smoke zero halogens) jacket on request). It also has an armoring option for both inside and outside environments where the application requires more cut-and-crush resistance. This armor option covers the cable with a stainless steel flat wire spiral, fiberglass braid, and silicone jacket and is extremely flexible and light while still providing protection.
