The TFT 50-ohm coaxial cables and assemblies from Times Microwave Systems compare favorably with semiflexible (solder-braid) coax and RG-type coax for RF and microwave interconnects in military and commercial applications. Unlike solder-braid cables, the flat-braid shield on TFT cable is not susceptible to cracking when bent, which permits installation in tight spaces without the risk of compromising performance. Compared with standard RG cables, the flat-braid shield is designed to provide much better shielding and lower attenuation. The FEP jacket is designed to provide protection in corrosive environments and is highly resistant to UV, making these cables suitable for outdoor installation. TFT cables are also CMP (plenum) rated and provide better than −160 dBc (decibels relative to the carrier) PIM performance when properly terminated, making them useful for interconnects in cellular base stations and critical DAS installations. The cables feature low passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion; a UL910 plenum rating that satisfies building code requirements; and stable loss, phase, and VSWR versus flexing. www.timesmicrowave.com
