Pasternack Enterprises has introduced a new series of low PIM cable jumpers with formable coax. These new assemblies are designed for low passive intermodulation (PIM) applications including use in black boxes, test equipment racks and cabinets, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and lab testing.
Pasternack’s low PIM formable cables are made using a tin-filled braid that produces a hand formable, solid outer conductor wall, making them perfect for installation into tight places, operating from DC up to 6 GHz depending on the desired configuration. These formable and robust cable jumpers with TriMetal plating, soldered connection point and precise coaxial cable construction can perform an outstanding PIM performance of -160 dBc and 1.25:1 VSWR while generating reliable low PIM performance for the life of the assembly.
These RF cables are available with two different coax diameters sizes including 0.163” and 0.276” and connector options include 7/16 DIN, 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN, Type N, and SMA. Between-series configurations can be ordered with SMA, Type N, and 7/16 DIN connector combinations, while in-series cables using 4.1/9.5 Mini DIN connectors are also available. This cable series is available for same-day shipment in two popular lengths including 100 and 200 centimeters (cm). Custom lengths are available upon request with slightly longer lead times depending on the customer’s specific needs. Each assembly is 100% RF and PIM tested prior to shipment.
