High Performance Coaxial Cable Assemblies Lab-Flex® S Series, precision cable for dynamic applications. Features and Benefits ■ Up to 40GHz ■ Low Loss (30% less than solid PTFE dielectrics) ■ Superior EMI Shielding >90dB Smiths Interconnect’s Lab-Flex S product portfolio provides customers with a robust high performance solution for multiple applications and markets. The combination of repeatable, consistent performance and high reliability products translates to lower cost of ownership while improving system performance. The benefits enable customers to be more competitive with support of an established technology partner. ■ Phased Matched Pairs and Sets Available (standard tolerance is +/- one degree per GHz or +/-2.8 picoseconds) Applications ■ Ground SatCom ■ Missile Guidance The Lab-Flex S series was developed for high dynamic flexure applications using precision grade low loss PTFE and stranded center conductors designed for Test & Measurement, Defense, Commercial and other markets which need the ultimate in performance requirements. This cable series has a very long heritage in high shock and vibration applications such as missile technology as well as repeatable performance in the Test & Measurement environment. The Lab-Flex S cable has a low loss PTFE insulator for minimum attenuation and a stranded silver plated copper center conductor for maximum flexure capability. The 160S, 180SP, 235SP, 335SP and 490S products represent the most common sizes needed for today’s applications. These Lab-Flex S cables are an excellent choice for use in SatCom, Radar, Missile Guidance and Test & Measurement applications. Test data is available on request. ■ Radar ■ Test & Measurement ■ Communication Systems
