Built for Temperature Stability

The 3 Series cable assemblies use a Low Density PTFE dielectric material to ensure excellent phase stability against temperature fluctuations — the defining requirement for equipment wiring in thermal environments. The continuous operating temperature range is -65 to +125 C, making them suitable for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications where cables must perform across the full thermal cycle.

  • Phase stability: temperature change — primary design goal
  • Low Density PTFE dielectric for minimal thermal phase shift
  • Wide temperature range: -65 to +125 C across all variants
  • Four frequency options: 18.5 GHz (multiple sizes), 26.5 GHz, 40 GHz
  • Ultra-long assembly lengths: up to 20,000 mm
  • Ultra-slim option: MWX311 at 2.7 mm OD, 18.5 g/m
  • Three construction types: Non-Armored, Armored, Lightweight Armored
  • Ships in 10-11 business days — RoHS compliant

Simple Criteria for Cable Selection

All 3 Series cables share the same Low Density PTFE core and 50 Ohm impedance. Choose frequency and OD based on your application requirement.

Lower Insertion Loss

Choose a larger outer diameter cable

Higher Frequency

Choose a smaller outer diameter cable

P

Higher Power Rating

Choose a larger outer diameter cable

L

Longer Cable Run

MWX312 or MWX321 support up to 20,000 mm
