microbend® V True Flexible Coaxial Cable Assemblies
Product Description
microbend® V is the millimeter wave (65GHz.) version of the microbend® and was designed for use in high speed (40Gb/sec.) low dispersion switching applications such as in fiber optic communications. microbend® V has astrolab designed 1.85mm plug connectors that mate to industry standard 1.85mm and 2.4mm connectors. microbend® V replaces custom length, predefined bend configuration .047 semi-rigid cables with true flexible, cost effective, standard length 100% coax cable assemblies.
Product Features
- Precision 1.85mm compatible plug connectors
- Lower insertion loss than .047 semi-rigid cable
- Stock delivery on standard lengths
- Eliminates need for costly right angle connectors
|
- Triple shielded for high isolation
- Frequency range up to 65 GHz
- Guaranteed 10 lb. pull force
- 99.9% 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® V–5 assembly's were flexed 90° in a 0.1 inch radius directly behind the connector. In test two, microbend® V–5 assembly's were flexed 180° with a 0.25 inch radius in the middle. Typical data is listed here:
