High performance, ultra low profile, 65GHz


microbend® 2MR True Flexible Coaxial Cable Assemblies

Product Description
microbend® 2MR has all the benefits of the microbend® but with SMPM female connectors on each end that are fully mateable with Corning Gilbert GPPO™ connectors. microbend® 2MR replaces custom length, pre defined bend configuration .047 semi-rigid cable with true flexible coax cable in standard lengths, 100% tested over the full operating frequency.

Product Features

  • Precision SMPM female connectors mateable with GPPO™ from Corning Gilbert
  • Stock delivery on standard lengths
  • Eliminates need for costly right angle connectors
  • Triple shielded for high isolation
  • Qualified 40Gbit/second transmission cable assembly
  • Frequency range up to 65 GHz
  • Guaranteed 10 lb. pull force
  • Lower insertion loss than .047 semi-rigid cable
  • 100% lead free

Phase Versus Flexure Reference Data

Astrolab performed phase tests on hundreds of microbend® cable assemblies. Following are two standard Astrolab tests with the corresponding data. In test one microbend® 2MR–5 assembly's were flexed 90° in a 0.1 inch radius directly behind the connector. In test two, microbend® 2MR–5 assembly's were flexed 180° with a 0.25 inch radius in the middle. Typical data is listed here:
