Microwave Coaxial Cable Assemblies
MWX2 Series
Flexible cable assemblies for measuring instruments
Cable assemblies developed for intensive use in microwave/milli
meter-wave measurements, with high phase stability against
bending (Continuous operating temperature range from -30 to
+85 ℃).
Flexibility and low repulsion reduce loads on measured objects.
Four cable types are available for max. 26.5, 40, 50, 67 GHz use.

How to select
1.Simple criteria for connector selection
●Choose
a suitable connector for your measuring
instrument.
●The
smaller the connector, the higher the maximum
operating frequency.
●The
larger the connector, the higher the power rating.
2.Power rating
The diagram to the below shows the relationship
between frequency and power rating. The values are
calculated at 25 ℃ and at sea level. The power rating
will need to be corrected for different ambient
temperatures and altitude. Power ratings may decrease,
depending on the connector selected.

Test condition
temperature:24 ℃
test load:454 g
diameter of bar:φ16 mm
A test cable measuring 1,000 mm in length was formed into a circle with an internal diameter of 300
mm. Both ends were overlapped and secured with tape measuring 50 mm in width. The circularly formed
test cable was then suspended, with the overlapping end section at the top and a weight positioned at
the bottom. Circularity was measured after five seconds. (Circularity is expressed as the ratio a/b.)
