High Power RF Cable,Connectors & Assemblies

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on high power RF cables, connectors, and assemblies used in various industries such as semiconductor, flat panel, and solar panel manufacturing, as well as high power lasers, radars, TV/FM broadcast, and MRI. It stresses the importance of selecting the appropriate interface for low-frequency, high-power applications.
Specifications: Specifications for different cables and connectors, including EIA flange, LC, and 7/16 DIN connectors, are outlined. Key factors for optimal performance include high contact forces, low contact resistance, and large interface diameters.
Connector Selection: Times Microwave Systems offers a diverse range of cables and connectors for high power RF transmission. The document discusses the electrical and mechanical requirements for various applications and the company's ability to produce custom solutions.
Cable Assemblies: The manufacturing capabilities of Times Microwave Systems include producing rugged, flexible cables that withstand high ambient temperatures and provide environmental resistance. Complete test data on parameters like VSWR, insertion loss, and corona are available.
Technical Data: Extensive technical data is provided on attenuation, power handling, and mechanical specifications for various cable types. Detailed tables include information on bend radius, weight, operating temperature range, impedance, shielding effectiveness, dielectric constant, velocity of propagation, capacitance, and voltage withstand.
Materials and Construction: The document describes materials used in cable construction, such as solid PE, PTFE, SiO2, foam PE, and expanded PTFE for dielectrics, and round wire, flat wire, and composite constructions for outer conductors. Various jacket materials like PE, FEP, PVC, Urethane, Nomex®, and Kapton® are listed.
Applications: High power RF cables and connectors are highlighted for their use in environments requiring low loss, high RF shielding, and low VSWR. The document discusses trade-offs in selecting the best cable for a given application.
Overview of High Power Connectors: Various high power connectors such as 1-5/8” EIA Male and Type N Female are listed, with emphasis on customized brackets for mounting interlock switches.
Power Handling in Coaxial Cables: Electrical losses in coaxial cables generate heat, primarily in the center conductor. Power handling capability is linked to the cable's heat dissipation ability, influenced by size and attenuation. The dielectric material's maximum operating temperature is critical.
Derating Factors: Cable power ratings must be adjusted for ambient temperature, altitude, and VSWR. High temperatures and altitudes reduce power ratings by hindering heat dissipation, while VSWR can create localized hot spots.
Cable Selection Process: To select a suitable cable, determine the average input power at the highest frequency and apply correction factors for temperature, altitude, and VSWR. The effective power is calculated using these corrections, and a cable is chosen based on this effective power level.
Company Commitment: Times Microwave Systems is committed to designing and manufacturing high-performance RF and microwave transmission lines, focusing on customer satisfaction and cost-effective solutions.
Contact Information: Contact details for the company's headquarters in Wallingford, CT, and its office in Shanghai, China, are provided.

Threaded EIA connectors EIA Flange connectors are rugged and are often the optimal choice when working with very high power levels. If there is a disadvantage to the EIA flange, it’s the large outer diameter of the flange which may result in a routing challenge when installing a finished assembly. In the case of the 1 5/8” EIA, we’ve addressed this issue by developing both a threaded 1 5/8” connector as well as a separate 1 5/8” flange adapter. The combined assembly will handle the power of 1 5/8” connector and will allow the assembly to be routed through a bulkhead hole/knockout having a diameter...

Custom Interlock Bracket Times Microwave Systems offers the customized brackets to allow mounting of interlock switches. Selection of RF Coaxial Cable by Power Handling Electrical losses in a coaxial cable result in the generation of heat in the center and outer conductors, as well as in the Selection of RF Coaxial Cable by Power Handlingdielectric core. The power handling capability of a cable is related to the ability of the cable to dissipate this heat. The ultimate limiting factor in power handling is the maximum allowable operating temperature of the materials used in the cable, especially...
