What are Hand-Formable Coaxial Cables?
Hand-Formable Coaxial Cables are cables that can be bent by hand and can retain or hold that form for a long period of time. These cables are semi-rigid and easy to handle. They are easy to bend and do not require any specialized tools. Bending these cables does not result in any significant performance degradation.
Important parameters when looking for a Hand-Formable Coaxial Cable:
Operating Frequency: Coaxial cables can transmit radio waves in a certain range of frequency according to their thickness, materials they are made of and length of transmission.
Power Handling (W/dBm): This is the maximum RF signal power that can be handled by a coaxial cable at a particular frequency.
Insertion Loss: Insertion loss is the loss of signal when traveling in and out of a coaxial cable. The Insertion loss in coaxial cables usually varies with the length of the cable and is measured in dB/foot or dB/m.
Connectors: Coaxial cables are usually terminated on either end with connectors. Each cable type can have a set of compatible connector types. It is important to know which connectors can be used with which cable.
