086 Model Series
CASE STYLE: KP1505-XX
XX= cable length in inches
Product Overview
The 086 Series Hand-Flex Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. The
construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor which maintains the shape after bending.
The outer shield is copper braid, tin soaked, which minimizes signal leakage and at the same time flexible for easy
bend. Dielectric is low loss PTFE. Connectors have passivated stainless-steel coupling nut over a gold plated
connector body and gold plated, brass center conductor.

Feature
Hand-Formable RF Cables
Advantages
The 086 Series Hand-Flex cables are hand formable making them ideal for use integrating
coaxial components and sub-assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and
alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable
assemblies.
Capable of only 6mm bend radius, the 086 Hand Flex series is able to make connections in tight
spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration
Supporting typical return loss of 33 dB to 6 GHz and 21 dB to 18 GHz, the 086 Series Hand-Flex
Cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing
VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors.
Mini-Circuits 086 Cable series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these
cables to be used in the transmit path. NOTE: power rating is at sea-level altitudes.
Mini-Circuits 086 Series Hand Flex cables include an anti-torque feature to support the connector
body during installation alleviating risk of stress to the connector/cable interface.
Standard 086 Series cables include a blue FEP insulator jacket reducing the risk of accidental
shorting of DC power lines or active pins during installation and operation. Un-jacketed versions
are available upon request.
