(800)-TMS-COAX • www.timesmicrowave.com • (203)-949-8400 StripFlex II cables provide the ultimate perfor- mance in a flexible cable. The low density PTFE tape dielectric provides the lowest dielectric loss of any practical dielectric and silver plated con- ductors make these the ideal choice for micro- wave and military interconnect systems The high temperature dielectric and jacket enable their use in high ambient temperatures up to +200°C. They have losses slightly smaller than their low temperture TCOM counterparts as well as higher power handling capability. The Shielding system, provided by times Microwave Systems in the mid-sixties, consists of an inner silver plated flat ribbon braid (FSC), a spirally applied and overlapped composite aluminum tape interlayer (Intl), and an overall silver plated round wire braid (SC). The flat ribbon shield affords approximately 30% lower loss and >95 dB shielding compared with the typical M17/ RG round wire braided shield (40 to 60 dB). StripFlex -II (SFT) Low Loss – High Performance Coax

  • Lower Loss Micr owave Interconnect
  • Wir eless Base Station Interconnect Features & Benefits
  • Lower Loss than SF V ersions
  • Superior Shielding Ef fectiveness
  • Low Passive Intermod (-155 dBc)
  • Stable Loss & VSWR vs. Flexing
  • Excellent Connector Selection Standard M17/RG cables are shielded with high coverage single or double round wire braids. While these shields provide 40 dB and 60 dB shielding effectiveness respectively, they are not particularly stable (loss & vswr) nor is the shielding adequate for today’s sensitive wireless communications and microwave military/defense applications. VSWR is lower since the flat ribbons can be applied over the dielectric much more uniformly than multi end round wire braids. The VSWR and attenuation varia- tion due to aaging and flexure is substantially lower at all frequencies, and especially above 12 GHz. Strip- Flex II cables are also available from Times that have been sweep tested for broadband VSWR and attenua- tion performance. Please contact the factory with your specific requirements. A good selection of interface connectors (crimp or clamp style) are available. SFT cables can be pur- chased in bulk reels or as predetermined and tested cable assemblies.
