coaxial cable 141 model series hand tm the big deal product overview the 141 series hand-flex coaxial cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-systems. the construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor which maintains the shape after bending. the outer shield is copper braid, tin soaked, which minimizes signal leakage and at the same time fexible for easy bend. dielectric is low loss ptfe. connectors have passivated stainless-steel coupling nut over a gold plated connector body and silver plated copper clad steel. key features ? hand formable ? tight bend radius ? excellent return loss and insertion loss ? ideal for interconnect of assembled systems 50 ? dc to 18 ghz feature advantages hand-formable rf cables the 141 series hand-flex cables are hand formable making them ideal for use integrating coaxial components and sub-assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies. tight bend radius capable of only 8mm bend radius, the 141 hand flex series is able to make connections in tight spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration excellent return loss supporting typical return loss of 30 db to 6 ghz and 21 db to 18 ghz, the 141 series hand-flex cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of rf components while minimizing vswr ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors. good power handling capability: ? 546w at 0.5 ghz ? 90w at 18 ghz mini-circuits 141 cable series can support medium to high rf power levels enabling these cables to be used in the transmit path. note: power rating is at sea-level altitudes. built in anti-torque nut mini-circuits 141 series hand flex cables include an anti-torque feature to support the connector body during installation alleviating risk of stress to the connector/cable interface. jacketed and unjacketed options standard 141 series cables include a blue fep insulator jacket reducing the risk of accidental shorting of dc power lines or active pins during installation and operation. un-jacketed versions are available upon request. case style: kq1506-xx xx= cable length in inches notes a. performance and quality attributes and conditions not expressly stated in this specifcation document are intended to be excluded and do not form a part of this specifcation document. b. electrical specifcations and performance data contained in this specifcation document are based on mini-circuits applicable established test performance criteria and measurement instructions. c. the parts covered by this specifcation document are subject to mini-circuits standard limited warranty and terms and conditions (collectively, standard terms); purchasers of this part are entitled to the rights and benefts contained therein. for a full statement of the standard terms and the exclusive rights and remedies thereunder, please visit mini-circuits website at www.minicircuits.com/mclstore/terms.jsp mini-circuits ? www.minicircuits.com p.o. box 350166, brooklyn, ny 11235-0003 (718) 934-4500 sales@minicircuits.com page 1 of 3
