Coaxial Cable 141 Model Series HAND TM The Big Deal Product Overview The 141 Series Hand-Flex Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. The construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor which maintains the shape after bending. The outer shield is copper braid, tin soaked, which minimizes signal leakage and at the same time flexible for easy bend. Dielectric is low loss PTFE. Connectors have passivated stainless-steel coupling nut over a gold plated connector body and Silver Plated Copper Steel center conductor. Key Features

  • Hand Formable
  • Tight Bend Radius
  • Excellent Return Loss and Insertion Loss
  • Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems 50Ω DC to 18 GHz Feature Advantages Hand-Formable RF Cables The 141 Series Hand-Flex cables are hand formable making them ideal for use integrating coaxial components and sub-assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies. Tight Bend Radius Capable of only 8mm bend radius, the 141 Hand Flex series is able to make connections in tight spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration Excellent Return loss Supporting typical return loss of 30 dB to 6 GHz and 21 dB to 18 GHz, the 141 Series Hand-Flex Cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. Good Power Handling Capability:
  • 546W at 0.5 GHz
  • 90W at 18 GHz Mini-Circuits 141 Cable series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these cables to be used in the transmit path. NOTE: power rating is at sea-level altitudes. Built in Anti-torque nut Mini-Circuits 141 Series Hand Flex cables include an anti-torque feature to support the connector body during installation alleviating risk of stress to the connector/cable interface. Jacketed and Unjacketed options Standard 141 Series cables include a blue FEP insulator jacket reducing the risk of accidental shorting of DC power lines or active pins during installation and operation. Un-jacketed versions are available upon request. CASE STYLE: KQ1506-XX XX= cable length in inches Notes A.

Proper Cable Connection Using Anti-Torque Nut Mini-Circuits 141-series HandFlex™ interconnect cables are constructed with an anti-torque nut adjacent to the connector coupling nut. When used properly, this feature prevents possible damage to the cable due to torqueing and twisting when tightening the cable connector. To properly tighten the cable connector: 1) The cable connector includes a coupling nut which rotates to fasten the connector, and an anti-torque nut, which is fixed to prevent the cable from twisting during connection. 2) To properly tighten the cable, use a standard 1/4-inch open end wrench to brace the anti-torque nut. 3) Using a 5/16-inch open end wrench, rotate the coupling nut clockwise to tighten the cable connector. *NOTE: Mini-Circuits recommends using a 5/16-inch open end wrench calibrated to 8 inch-pounds maximum torque to prevent damage due to over-torqueing the connector.
