RF Test Cable Assemblies

Our RF Test Cable assemblies minimize attenuation with low-loss dielectric materials and precision-engineered conductors. This design ensures high signal retention and fidelity, even at high frequencies. Low-loss dielectrics and high-conductivity conductors reduce resistance, yielding more reliable test results. Additionally, impedance matching is optimized to minimize reflections and signal degradation. 

Conductor Material

High-conductivity copper, silver-plated copper, or tinned copper

Conductor Stranding

7/0.2mm, 19/0.2mm, or solid copper (depending on application)

Voltage Rating

Up to 600V (depending on the insulation material and application)

Current Rating

10A to 20A (depending on the conductor size and insulation)

Insulation Material

PTFE, FEP, PE, or Teflon for low-loss and high-frequency performance

Product Description

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt RF tests, causing inaccurate readings. To address this, our cables feature multi-layer shielding for superior EMI rejection. We block external signals from contaminating your test data by using braided copper and aluminum foil. This ensures shielding effectiveness even in noisy environments. The combination of optimized shielding materials and proper grounding guarantees minimal interference. 

Insulation Resistance

PTFE, FEP, PE, or Teflon for low-loss and high-frequency performance

Jacket Material

PVC, TPE, or fluoropolymer-based materials (for durability and flexibility)

Jacket Thickness

0.5mm to 2.0mm (depending on the environmental protection and application needs)

Temperature Range

-40°C to +125°C

Flame Retardancy

UL VW-1, UL 1581, or equivalent standards for flame-resistant properties

Shielding

Double shielding: braided copper + aluminum foil or copper mylar

Connector Type

SMA, N-Type, TNC, BNC, and custom connectors based on application requirements

Power Rating

Up to 100W (depending on frequency and environmental conditions)

Environmental Rating

IP67 (waterproof and dustproof), RoHS-compliant

Certification

UL, RoHS, CE, MIL-STD, ISO 9001 (depending on the specific product line)

Technical Advantages

RF Test Cables often face harsh conditions, from extreme temperatures to physical wear. Our cables are built for durability with abrasion-resistant jacketing and high-performance materials. These materials protect against mechanical stress, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure. The cables also perform well across a wide temperature range, typically -40°C to +125°C. As a result, they continue to provide reliable performance in demanding environments. 

Every testing environment is unique. Therefore, our RF Test Cables are customizable to meet your specific requirements. You can choose custom lengths, connector types, and shielding configurations to match your setup. Whether you need SMA, N-Type, or TNC connectors, we offer tailored solutions. Customization ensures that our cables fit seamlessly into your test system, improving accuracy and performance.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure minimal signal attenuation in RF Test Cable assemblies?

To reduce signal attenuation, Frigate uses high-conductivity materials like copper and silver-plated conductors combined with low-loss dielectrics such as PTFE. This design minimizes resistance, maintaining signal integrity over long cable runs and high-frequency ranges. 

What is the role of multi-layer shielding in Frigate's RF Test Cables?

Frigate’s RF Test Cables are designed with multi-layer shielding, including braided copper and aluminum foil, to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal leakage. This ensures high shielding effectiveness, preventing external noise from contaminating test measurements and preserving signal quality. 

How does Frigate address temperature extremes in RF Test Cable applications?

Frigate utilizes fluoropolymer-based jacketing materials that offer excellent thermal stability, ensuring performance in extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C. This makes the cables reliable for use in environments with rapid temperature fluctuations or high heat exposure. 

What methods does Frigate use to ensure RF Test Cable flexibility without compromising performance?

Frigate’s RF Test Cables feature reinforced strain relief and small bend radius designs. These allow the cables to flex easily in tight spaces while preserving the integrity of the shielding and signal flow, preventing degradation from bending or movement over time. 

How does Frigate guarantee the precision of impedance matching in RF Test Cable assemblies?

Frigate designs RF Test Cables with precise impedance control, ensuring that the cable’s characteristic impedance, such as 50 ohms or 75 ohms, matches the test equipment’s. This prevents signal reflections, loss, or distortion, ensuring accurate data and reliable test results in high-frequency testing.
