Resource overview

Why micro-coaxial families differ

Small diameter alone does not determine the right micro-coaxial cable. The supplied manufacturer guide distinguishes families by frequency, cable diameter, flexure, loss, power handling and temperature performance.

Selection logic

PhaseTrack® 047 is positioned for broad high-frequency use and phase-sensitive applications; StripFlex® 047 emphasizes rugged operation in demanding environments; InstaBend® 047 supports tight routing close behind the connector; TF-047 is a general high-performance option; XtendedFlex™ 045 targets very high flexibility and low shape memory.

Typical applications

Application areas in the supplied guide include medical devices, board/module interconnect, test and measurement, industrial automation, sensors, GPS, aerospace and space systems.

Before ordering

Confirm frequency, diameter/space envelope, static or dynamic bend requirement, connector family, length, temperature and whether phase or amplitude stability is critical.

How to use this guide

  • Use it to narrow product families and sourcing requirements.
  • Confirm exact electrical, mechanical and environmental values against the latest manufacturer datasheet.
  • Provide the exact manufacturer part number / ordering code when requesting availability.
