ULTRA LOW LOSS MICROWAVE CABLES

The widest range Ultra Low Loss cables, DC – 65 GHz., high power, special designs for field, shipboard and high dynamic use, extensive range of connectors available, also for use in high vacuum high power applications.
Please choose one of the following product categories:
High Performance ultra low loss coaxial cables type UFP (minimum attenuation and VSWR).
The High Performance coaxial cables have been developed for applications where the demand is a minimum attenuation and VSWR. The High Performance cables have a solid inner conductor making them less appropriate for applications where a long flex-life is required. The High Performance cables are available for frequencies from DC up to 65 GHz.

The Dielectric of Ultra Low Loss cable is made of PTFE Teflon ® with a very high air content.
This type of material is known as expanded PTFE.
The content of the air determines the velocity of propagation. The higher the velocity, the lower the losses of the cable will be.
If you take a piece of PTFE tape with a high content of air and you let it drop, it will act as a feather of a bird.
The production of the dielectric is very delicate and has a great influence on the production speed.
