Times Microwave Systems introduces its new TF-047 micro-coaxial cable, offering high performance and reliability in a compact footprint. TF-047 leverages a versatile SwaP-C solution with extensive connector capability for high density and high frequency applications including medical device, inside-the-box connectivity, semiconductor test, quantum computing and mobile devices.

TF-047 is compact and flexible for easy routing in space-constrained areas, with an overall diameter of 0.055 in./1.40 mm and can support bends as tight as of 0.20 in./5.08 mm. TF-047 is optimized to perform from DC to 50 GHz.

The new, lightweight TF-047 micro-coaxial cable (maximum weight of 3.77 lbs./1.71 kg per 1000 ft.) is available with a variety of push-on and threaded connectors. It is ideal for use in flexible catheters, medical imaging and patient monitoring applications, for board-to-board, backplane and crossover box-box/inside-the-box connectivity, as well as for bench/production tests, troubleshooting setup, signal fanout and ATE in semiconductor manufacturing. TF-047 will also be useful in quantum computing for external and in-ternal RF lines, and in laptops, tablets and audio/video products.

“Times Microwave Systems’ new TF-047 adds another dimension to our lineup of micro-coaxial cables, along with our InstaBend™ 047, SF-047 and Phasetrack®-047 products. It allows us to offer a versatile range of micro-coaxial cables for many of today’s more challenging installations,” said Kai Loh, product solutions manager at Times Microwave Systems.

Times Microwave Systems’ TF-047 micro-coaxial cable is available now as bulk cable or assemblies, with a short lead time in standard configurations or can be customized to meet an application's specific needs.
