TFlex 402 High-Performance Flexible Alternative to Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cables
Times Microwave TFlex 402 is a premium, flexible microwave cable designed to deliver the electrical performance of semi-rigid cables with the added benefit of simplified installation. High performance flexible cable Engineered for demanding aerospace, defense, and telecommunications environments, TFlex 402 eliminates the need for complex 3D bending and precision machine tools, allowing for “plug-and-play” routing in tight spaces.
Features
Flexible Alternative to Semi-Rigid: Seamless “drop-in” replacement for 0.141-inch semi-rigid cables without the need for custom bending.
Superior Shielding: Achieves >100 dB shielding effectiveness using a silver-plated copper tape and braid construction.
Low PIM Performance: Typically better than -150 dBc, making it ideal for high-fidelity wireless base station interconnects.
Stable RF Performance: Maintains ultra-stable insertion loss, phase, and VSWR even during flexing.
Standard Connector Compatibility: Specifically designed to use standard solder-on connectors for semi-rigid cables.
Harsh Environment Ready: Blue FEP jacket provides excellent protection against chemicals, UV, and extreme temperatures.
