The type N male to type N female bulkhead cable using LL142 coax, part number

FMCA1237, from Fairview Microwave is in-stock and ships same day. This Fairview

type N to type N cable assembly has a male to female gender configuration with

50 ohm flexible LL142 coax. Fairview Microwave’s flexible RF cable assemblies

are ideal for applications where tight bends and continual flexure are required.

The FMCA1237 type N male to type N female cable assembly operates to 18 GHz.

Our RF cable assembly with type N bulkhead interface allows designers to create

external connections on their product enclosures, and can be used in a variety

of other rack mount and panel mount applications. The triple shielding of this

Fairview cable assembly provides excellent shielding effectiveness of better than

95 dB. Fairview High performance test cables boast 83% phase velocity and offer

excellent low loss performance up to 18 GHz. The FMCA1237 cable assemblies

use durable stainless steel connectors and an FEP jacket. The connector/cable

interface has double heat-shrink booting which provides added strain relief while

increasing the durability of the cable assembly. The low attenuation per foot in a

0.195 inch diameter cable creates a cable that has good flexibility while offering

industry leading loss characteristics. All FMCA1237 cable assemblies are 100%

RF tested to ensure the VSWR and insertion loss specifications meet or exceed

Fairview’s published electrical specifications.

Custom versions of most RF cable assemblies can be built and shipped same

day. Custom cable assembly lengths can be obtained by specifying the desired

length on the web site at time of order or by contacting a sales representative.

Other RF cable assembly value added services including connector orientation or

clocking, heat shrink booting and labeling are also available. RF testing can also

be performed to document the electrical performance of your cable assembly.
