The ACV-CA40 is a low loss VNA test cable assembly that operates up to 40 GHz. This ultra-flexible cable assembly has superb crush resistance and a jacket which stands up to the high abrasion levels often present in a laboratory environment. It is available with 2.92 mm male connectors and have an insertion loss of 5 dB/meter.
Aimed primarily at the microwave laboratory test and measurement market where continual flexing and high levels of handling are normal, this new assembly feature +/-0.3 dB amplitude stability and +/-5 degree phase stability with a VSWR of 1.2:1.
There are 10 different layers of construction in the cable used for this VNA assembly, ranging from the silver plated copper centre conductor through to low density PTFE dielectric, silver plated copper ribbon intermediate layer with PTFE stabiliser, all the way to the crush protection layer and outer abrasion resistant jacket.
