The problem

Choose: Protection or Performance — Until Now.

At 67 GHz, your cable is already the weakest link. Add an ATE rack, a handler, daily connection cycles — and an unprotected cable becomes a liability. Standard flexible cables get kinked, crushed, and degraded. Armored cables exist — but max out at 26.5 GHz. Until now, you had to choose.

ATE Testing

Cables routed, flexed, and reconnected with every device swap. At 67 GHz, a single kink is enough to corrupt performance and invalidate results. An unprotected cable is expensive disposable equipment.

Thermal Environments

Temperature cycling, environmental stress, aerospace installations. Standard flexible cables aren't built for the −65 to +125 °C range. The MWX161 is built for exactly this.

Dense Port Layouts

Delicate 1.85 mm connectors. Dense rack layouts. Mechanical stress from stiff cable assemblies threatens connector integrity. Just 7.9 mm armored OD — as slim as armored gets.

The solution

The MWX161 Ends That Tradeoff.

With eight construction layers — including SUS spiral tube and SUS wire braid — the MWX161 delivers full mechanical protection while maintaining the 67 GHz performance your measurements demand.

  • 67 GHz with Armored Construction
    The only armored variant in the MWX1 Series to reach 67 GHz. Covers all standard VNA port interfaces up to 1.85 mm.
  • Slim Profile — Just 7.9 mm Armored OD
    Full armor at just 7.9 mm max OD. Fits dense port layouts without stressing connectors.
  • Full Temp. Range: −65 to +125 °C
    Operates continuously across the range required for aerospace, thermal cycling, and military test environments. Stable performance across the full envelope.
  • Connector Flexibility
    3.5 mm, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, and 1.85 mm — matches any VNA port up to 67 GHz. Matched-phase pairs available.
  • Proven Phase Stability
    VSWR 1.43, 7.3 dB/m insertion loss at 67 GHz. Consistent results after every flex — a cable that stays in spec.

8 Layers. Each One Earns Its Place.

The MWX161's construction is built on a low-density PTFE core for 67 GHz performance, wrapped in multiple conductor layers for impedance control, then protected by SUS spiral tube and SUS wire braid — both stainless-grade materials with mechanical crush and abrasion resistance.

The armor layer (layers 6 & 7) is what makes the MWX161 unique among all 67 GHz cable assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before ordering.

Why does armor matter at 67 GHz?
At millimeter-wave frequencies, even minor physical damage to the cable geometry changes phase and insertion loss. Kinking, crushing, or jacket wear at 67 GHz corrupts your measurement. The SUS spiral tube and wire braid in the MWX161 prevent exactly this — without adding excessive outer diameter.
What connector interfaces are available?
The MWX161 is available with 3.5 mm, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, and 1.85 mm connectors — covering every standard VNA port interface up to 67 GHz. Specify your required interface when requesting a quote.
How does MWX161 differ from MWX121 and MWX122?
MWX121 and MWX122 are rated to 26.5 GHz. MWX161 is the only member of the MWX1 Series to reach 67 GHz, and is the only variant with 8-layer armored construction. If your test frequencies exceed 26.5 GHz in a demanding mechanical environment, MWX161 is the right choice.
Is matched-phase available for multi-port setups?
Yes. Matched-phase pairs are available on the MWX161. Specify this requirement — and your required skew tolerance — when requesting a quote from Koto Electronics.
How quickly can I receive it in Israel?
Approximately 11 business days through Koto Electronics, the authorized Junkosha representative in Israel. Contact us for current stock levels and lead time on your specific configuration.
What is the operating temperature range?
The MWX161 operates continuously from −65 °C to +125 °C — the full range required for aerospace, thermal cycling chambers, and military-grade test environments. This is the same temperature range as the heat-resistant MWX121.

Stop choosing between protection and performance.
The MWX161 delivers both.

The MWX161 is available in Israel through Koto Electronics — your authorized local source for Junkosha products. Local stock, Hebrew and English support, ships in ~11 business days.
