HP Series Cable
The HP Series has a long history in the military and aerospace industries as the interconnect cable of choice in ground,
sea, and airborne systems. This series also excels in test and measurement applications offering high performance,
flexibility, and a wide range of precision connectors for applications up to 50 GHz. The triple shield construction provides
connector attachments that exceed *70 lbs of pull off force, (* HP190 with SMA connector) and harsh handling (i.e. radial

Phase stability is defined as the
change in phase when the cable
is bent 360 degrees around its
minimum bend radius.
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
The HP Series uses silver plated copper inner and outer conductors for low attenuation. The microporous
PTFE dielectrics and FEP jackets provide consistent performance over temperature extremes with better phase
performance over temperature compared to solid PTFE dielectrics. Shielding effectiveness >90 dB results from a
triple shield construction of woven flat braid, foil, and round braid. This construction also provides substantially better
radial torque resistance and connector pull off strength than helically wrapped braid designs.
