Including all the popular outside diameters of 0.034, 0.047, 0.086, 0.141 and 0.250 inches, the collection includes outer conductor materials of copper, aluminium and braided copper / tin composite, each with its own respective properties of flexibility and bend repetition.

Common to all standard types is the characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, PTFE dielectric material and an operating temperature range of –55 +125 C.

The aluminium outer cables are tin plated as standard for optimum solderability while copper types come in a choice of plain or tin plated.

A key and novel feature of the whole series is the availability of lengths up to 50 ft.

Beyond the standard range are a number of options with alternative impedances, FEP jackets, silver plated inner and outer conductors and low loss variants.

As examples of electrical performance, a 0.141 inch, O/D copper or aluminium semi-rigid will handle in excess of 170 watts at 5GHz with 91dB / 100m attenuation and a top frequency limit beyond 20GHz.
