Microwave Cable Products

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines the specifications and features of various microwave coaxial cables and assemblies, including MaxGain®, HeliFoil®, StripFlex®-II, and TFlex®. These products are engineered for low loss, flexibility, and stability, suitable for both commercial and military applications.
MaxGain® Cables: MaxGain® cables are characterized by ultra-low loss and flexibility, with soldered connectors for optimal performance. They are ideal for skilled technicians in factory settings. Key features include low insertion loss, excellent phase tracking, and superior shielding effectiveness. Specifications detail various cable types (MG-130, MG-160, MG-200, MG-300) with information on dimensions, weight, impedance, and frequency range.
HeliFoil® Cables: HeliFoil® cables excel in performance over the DC-18 GHz range, offering options for stranded center conductors for enhanced flexibility. They provide low attenuation, phase stability, and high power handling. Specifications include cable types (HF-090, HF-160, HF-190, HF-290) with details on dimensions, weight, impedance, and frequency range.
StripFlex®-II Cables: StripFlex®-II cables are designed for low dielectric loss and high shielding effectiveness, suitable for high-temperature environments. They maintain stable loss and VSWR with flexing. Specifications include cable types (SFT-316, SFT-142, SFT-205, SFT-304) with details on dimensions, weight, impedance, and frequency range.
TFlex® Cables: TFlex® cables are noted for their flexibility and ease of installation, with excellent shielding effectiveness and low passive intermodulation. They comply with MIL-DTL-17 requirements and use standard solder-on semirigid connectors. Specifications include cable types (TFlex-405, TFlex-402, TFlex-401) with details on dimensions, weight, impedance, and frequency range.
Key Features Across Products: All cable types emphasize low insertion loss, phase stability, and superior shielding. They are designed for durability and flexibility, with various connector options available. The document includes attenuation and power handling data, highlighting the cables' suitability for sensitive communications and microwave applications.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for TFlex cables include attenuation versus frequency and power handling capabilities. Attenuation is calculated using the formula: [k1 x SQRT(Fmhz)] + [k2 x Fmhz], measured in dB per 100 feet. Power handling is specified for frequencies ranging from 50 MHz to 40,000 MHz for different TFlex models.
Connectors: A variety of connectors are available for TFlex cables, designed to match microwave cables for optimal performance. The document lists specific connector models, part numbers, and specifications such as VSWR, coupling nut dimensions, and weight. Swept replaceable screw tubes are available for right-angle requirements, maintaining performance similar to straight connectors.
Cable Assemblies: Times Microwave Systems offers cable assemblies with options for special testing, custom connectors, improved strain relief, and special markings. Steel armor is available for additional protection in rough field applications. The document lists various cable and connector combinations, including part numbers for reference.
Company Overview: Times Microwave Systems designs and manufactures high-performance RF and microwave coaxial cables, connectors, and cable assemblies for various applications, including military, aerospace, telecommunications, and industrial sectors. The company emphasizes innovation, customer satisfaction, and cost-effective production, supported by Amphenol resources.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for the company's world headquarters in Wallingford, CT, and its office in Shanghai, China.
