EMC Lab EM Series
Low Loss Armored Test Cables for Compliance Measurements
MegaPhase designed its EM series test cable specifically for the needs of EMC lab technicians.
These low density dielectric cables are constructed using materials that meet electromagnetic
compatibility standards. The cable assemblies offer excellent shielding effectiveness and the
benefits of crush resistant armoring. MegaPhase plug connectors (exception: precision airline)
have conductive interface gaskets integrated to minimize RF leakage at the connector.
Phase matching, alternative conductive jackets and other features are available to suit specific
EMI/RFI test environments.
