AtlanTecRF’s ASF series of coaxial cable assemblies provides the microwave system designer with a versatile solution to equipment and sub-assembly cabling without the need for detailed design of semi-rigids. With a copper/tin composite outer conductor the cable can be hand formed in situ while maintaining performance essentially equivalent to formed copper semi-rigid of equivalent size and the high resistance to work-hardening allows for subsequent bend adjustments. The large range of STOCK lengths in standard assemblies will meet the requirements of most applications.
