Low PIM cable jumpers for black boxes, test equipment, and antennas introduced by Pasternack

IRVINE, Calif., 12 Aug. 2014. Pasternack Enterprises Inc. in Irvine, Calif., is introducing low passive intermodulation (PIM) cable jumpers with formable coax for low PIM applications like black boxes, test equipment racks and cabinets, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and lab testing.

Pasternack's low PIM formable RF and microwave cables have tin-filled braids that produce a hand-formable solid outer conductor wall for installation into tight places.

These RF cables are available with two different coax diameters sizes including 0.163 and 0.276 inches and connector options include 7/16 DIN, 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN, Type N, and SMA.

TriMetal plating, soldered connection point and precise coaxial cable construction produce reliable low PIM performance for the life of the assembly, company officials say.

The formable cable jumpers offer PIM performance of -160 dBc and 1.25:1 VSWR. Between-series configurations can be ordered with SMA, Type N, and 7/16 DIN connector combinations, while in-series cables using 4.1/9.5 Mini DIN connectors also are available.

Pasternack's low PIM jumpers operate from DC to 6 GHz, and are available in 100 and 200 centimeters (cm). Custom lengths are available.
