Stability Plus™ Microwave/RF Cable Assemblies

Description

The industry's best phase-stable cable assembly just got better! Even more phase-stable with flexure. Increased flexibility. More connectors options.

Maury Microwave's Stability Plus™ series sets the standard for high-performance ruggedized microwave/RF cable assemblies. Designed specifically for phase-stable and amplitude-stable applications, Stability Plus™ offers excellent measurement repeatability even after cable flexure. With a ruggedized, durable construction, Stability Plus™ will outlast and outperform other assemblies resulting in a reduced total cost-of-test. Stability Plus'™ light weight, superior flexibility and small form factor make it ideal for daily use with VNA's, test instruments, bench-top testing and ATE systems. Stability Plus™, the phase stable cable of choice.

Stability Plus™ cable assemblies are now part of the ColorConnect™ family! Following the proposed IEEE high-frequency connector/adapter color convention, Stability Plus™ cable assemblies offer clear indications of compatibility and intermatability. ColorConnect™ makes it a simple matter to avoid and eliminate damaged equipment, degraded equipment reliability, degraded performance and lengthy maintenance times due to improper mating (and attempted mating) of incompatible interconnects.

Available Models

Stability Plus™ phase-stable microwave/RF cable assemblies are available with TNCA and Type N connectors to 18 GHz, SMA and 3.5mm connectors to 26.5 GHz, 2.92mm connectors to 40 GHz, 2.4mm connectors to 50 GHz and 1.85mm connectors to 67 GHz in 24", 36", 48", 60" and 78" lengths (stocked lengths vary by connector type, custom lengths available). Please refer to the data sheet or web store for ordering information.

Stability Plus™ low profile cable assemblies offer the same electrical performance in an assembly that is smaller and lighter, and are available with TNCA, Type N, SMA, 3.5mm, 2.92mm, 2.4mm and 1.85mm connectors. Low profile assemblies are ideal for use in high-density applications where larger connectors may block connections, such as multi-port switch matrix, and with lightweight PCBs where the weight of a cable can cause boards to bend.
