Molex Temp-Fex Cable Assemblies

Molex Temp-Flex flexible microwave cable assemblies

Molex can develop a complete solution that uses proprietary techniques to combine Temp-Flex coaxial cables and Molex RF connectors, minimising voltage standing save ratio (VSWR) and insertion loss. The cables come standard with silver-plated conductors, Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) dielectric, double shields and FEP jacket. The solid-core low-loss cables use proprietary low-loss PFA dielectric with 70% Velocity of Propagation (VOP).

3M has presented New 3M™ 100G QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable Assemblies, 9Q Series are passive copper cable assemblies which utilize 3M Twin Axial Cable technology to create a highly-flexible, foldable, high-performance solution.

Features/Applications

Features Applications
  • Fluoropolymer insulation eliminates the “phase knee” effect
    • Delivers linear electrical length (stable performance) at room temperature
  • High temperature, thermally and mechanically stable dielectric
