Handformable and formstable microwave cable assemblies Sucoform microwave coaxial cables offer distinct mechanical advantages over semi-rigid cables. They are based on the same design as the standard PTFE insulated semi-rigid cables, but have a tin-soaked copper braid for the outer conductor, giving them outstanding hand-formability. These cables combine the excellent characteristics of semi-rigid cables with those of flexible coaxial cables. Thanks to their small bending radii, they allow spacesaving routing and packaging. The semi-rigid cable is unique in that it is easily bent to finished shape and still maintains its set after bending. This property makes it ideal for use with automated bending equipment as well as hand forming by bending tools. The semi-rigid cables provide greatly extended environmental parameters. The cables exhibit highly favourable electrical characteristics, particularly an impedance tolerance as low as 0.5 Ohm for a 0.0141“ diameter cable with nominal impedance of 50 Ohm. 164 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies
