Amphenol RF announced the expansion of their cable assembly portfolio with new cable assemblies engineered with straight SMPM plug connectors on compact 0.047-in. cable. SMPM connectors offer reliable, high frequency performance in a compact package and are designed to accommodate both radial and axial misalignment. Coupled with the flexible capabilities of the cable, this assembly is ideal for board-to-board, quantum computing and medical applications which require high reliability.

These SMPM cable assemblies operate up to 18 GHz with a generous minimum bend radius of 0.05 in. The cable is engineered to be a versatile micro-coaxial cable for designs that require a high-density solution. The flexibility of the cable allows for easy routing, aided by the push-on coupling mechanism of the SMPM plug connectors for easy mating and unmating, making these assemblies extremely versatile. They are available in standard lengths starting at 3 in. and compliment any RF design. Custom lengths are available upon request.

These cable assemblies join a robust portfolio of pre-configured SMPM options designed to accommodate a variety of cable types. SMPM cable assemblies are a good fit for applications exposed to shock and vibration such as instrumentation equipment, aerospace and military/defense applications where commercial off-the-shelf products are suitable.
