INTRODUCTION
The TestPro product range is dedicated to
Test and measurement applications
requiring excellent electrical performance,
high mechanical endurance and excellent resistance to wear and corrosion.
We offer 2 product categories to meet your needs:
• “Phase stable TestPro”
are suitable for test benches in production or labs, due to their long life and stability in dynamic use.
Test cable assemblies are intended for daily use in components and assembly shops, test labs and automatic test equipment
applications.
They differ from standard cable assemblies in the fact that they are especially designed for applications that require repeated
connection/disconnection procedures, strenuous flexing situations and applications where phase, loss and VSWR stability
becomes an issue.
• “Ultra low loss”
allow the use of long length cables with remote test stations and anechoic chambers. Their high stability with
temperature makes them easy to use in temperature chambers. They are also suitable for high power applications.
Our TestPro product range is designed to operate in the DC - 40 GHz frequancy range depending on connector and cable choice.
Optional protective jacket, offer different armor level.
Our
“ProJack”
is excellent for all defense systems tests running outdoors.
All components are designed and manufactured by Radiall in facilities operated under ISO9001-V2000/ASN9100 quality standards.

DESIGN
CABLE DESIGN and MANUFACTURING
The TestPro cable range benefits from Radiall’s 30 years of experience in manufacturing high tech microwave cable for
the military and aerospace markets. The TestPro cables were designed to meet test and measurement requirements.
Manufacturing is attained on Radiall’s own design manufacturing machines.
Low density PTFE tape wrapping is the heart of our process. It elevates our Ultra Low Loss TestPro cable to the position of best
performance in the market.
Our mastery in high precision multilayer braiding and wrapping makes the TestPro cable range stable over thousands
of bending life cycles compared to the competition.
5000 MATING CYCLES GUARANTEED
TestPro cable assemblies for test applications were developed using new highly ruggedized stainless steel connectors.
Our TestPro connectors are extremely robust. The combination of higher grade stainless steel and a unique attachment method
offers a very reliable product over multiple matings.
Performance after 5,000 matings
- Low contact resistance variation < 0.3 mΩ
- Very stable VSWR 1.11
