INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
Semi-Flex® coaxial cable assemblies are a tried and proven
alternative to traditional Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cables. These
cables provide comparable electrical performance to semirigid cables, while simultaneously allowing simple formation
for use within RF/Microwave systems, as well as, for making
external connections to other equipment. The outer conductor
is comprised of a tin filled copper wire braid, which enables
easy forming and re-forming by hand without the need for
bending tools. With a Copper/Poly Foil inner layer along with
Semi-Rigid style dielectric and center conductor, our SemiFlex cables provide enhanced shielding and performance that
exceeds traditional conformable cables.
There is no significant electrical performance degradation
when the Semi-Flex cables are formed into position. The
conformable property of the cable allows it to retain its shape
making field installations fast and simple. The malleable
nature of the outer jacket eliminates solder joint failures and
allows bends immediately behind the fillet. These features,
along with CarlisleIT’s Anti-Torque connector designs (see
inset) remarkably extend the assemblies’ working life even
after many connect/ disconnect cycles.
CarlisleIT’s Semi-Flex cable assemblies allow you to meet
deadlines, reduce cost, eliminate tooling and drafting needs,
and simplify manufacturing processes all at once.
