MaxGain®
ultra low loss, flexible Microwave Coaxial Cable and a full
range of passivated stainless steel connectors are available as fully
tested custom cable assemblies or for assembly by skilled assembly
facilities. The assembly of the connectors to the cable is accom-
plished by soldering to the inner and outer conductor resulting in
excellent mechanical and electrical performance, but is only recom-
mended for installation by skilled technicians in a factory environ-
ment. Alternatively, Times can provide completed assemblies to your
specifications.
MaxGain®
assemblies are used for general applications in both field
and laboratory conditions. They are ideally suited for applications
where lowest loss and good stability with bending are required.
