How to choose phase stable cable with armor or phase stable cable without armor?

The material of the connector is also a major factor in determining the service life of Phase Stable Test Cable. Generally speaking, the life of the connector with copper outer conductor is not as long as that of stainless steel material. Under the condition of satisfying the torque, the service life of the former is 500 times and that of the latter is 5000 times. The definition of this indicator value is that after reaching the end of life, the factory indicator of the joint starts to decrease, not that this joint is also scrapped. Under normal circumstances, the service life of a cable gland is much greater than the stated indicator value.

                                          
The use of adapters is recommended for production test environments that require frequent plugging and unplugging. In simple terms, for relatively static interconnection solutions, where plugging and unplugging and bending are not required frequently, Phase Stable Test Cable without armor is highly recommended, while for mass production testing or complicated laboratory tests, armor Phase Stable Test Cable always seems to be the most cost effective from a long-term perspective.

                                           
The Ultra Flexible Test Cable is designed in a way that contradicts the design principle of low passive intermodulation, so the Ultra Flexible Test Cable is available in low passive intermodulation models. Specifically, the Ultra Flexible Test Cable index value must be good and stable, the selection of a flexible Ultra Flexible Test Cable from the actual application, frequency, loss, VSWR, connector material, life, RF leakage, passive intermodulation and cost and other elements of a comprehensive consideration, rather than just from the price to decide. ZOMWAVE provides Ultra Flexible Test Cable with armor, Phase Stable Test Cable with armor, which protects the life of the cable. Click blue words and learn more.
