APC-series test cables feature extra-rugged, crush resistant construction, ideal for demanding production floor environments where heavy machinery is used. This model is 4 ft. in length with SMA-Male to N-Male connectors and provides low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and superior stability of insertion loss, VSWR, and phase versus flexure. Like all Mini-Circuits test cables, the APC-4FT-SMNM+ has been performance qualified to 20,000 bend cycles and comes with our 6 month guarantee.* Key Features

  • Crush resistant armored construction
  • Excellent stability of insertion loss, VSWR and phase vs. flexing
  • SMA-Male to N-Male connectors 50Ω 4FT DC to 18 GHz Feature Advantages Wideband, DC to 18 GHz Covers a wide range of test applications. Extra-rugged, crush-resistant armored construction Provides superior durability and reliability in high-volume production test floor environments where heavy machinery is used and cables are often subjected to mechanical stress. Excellent stability of insertion loss, VSWR and phase versus flexure Reliable performance in a wide range of configurations and in demanding environments where frequent bending is required. Low insertion loss and excellent return loss Allows accurate measurement with minimal compensation for the effects of the cable connection. SMA-Male to N-Male connectors Interfaces between equipment with SMA and N-Type connectors without the need for additional adapters.
