Samtec Nitrowave™ High-Performance RF Cable Assemblies

Samtec Nitrowave™ High-Performance RF Microwave Cable Assemblies offer improved stability with flexure and Nitrowave cable technology. The coaxial structure, designed with an outer jacket in distinctive Samtec orange, is built to meet the increasing demands of the aerospace, defense, computer, and instrumentation markets. Nitrowave cable assemblies provide optimized performance at frequencies that go beyond traditional industry targets to support emerging applications. These cable assemblies are phase- and amplitude-stable with flexure and feature lower-density dielectric ratings, state-of-the-art shielding techniques, silver plating enhancements, and mechanical and environmental robustness. Specifications include 50Ω impedance, -90dB minimum shielding effectiveness, and a wide temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.
