10 Inch Cables![]() CLICK for BIGGER PIC! |
High Quality, Low-Loss N-Connector RG393 MIL-C-17 Coax Cables
These low loss RG393 teflon jumpers can be used to link up S-parameter test sets, join diplexer parts, serve as flexible test connections, or whatever you can dream up. These are all very close in size (and thus electrical length and phase) so they make perfect matched sets for any critical RF application. Center pins are gold, these are usable to 11GHz. These won't last long, so grab a few for your bench, these are all very clean used cables. There are two virtually identical types, one uses Harbour Industries cable, one uses Time Microwave cable. We will send the same type if requested, and stock permits. Very low loss and artifacts, crimp construction.LOC: CAB25/WSS $20 each, 8 in stock |
24 Inch Cables![]() CLICK for BIGGER PIC! ![]() CLICK for BIGGER PIC! |
High Quality, Low-Loss N-Connector RG214 / MIL-C-17 Coax Cables
These low loss RG214 jumpers can be used to link up S-parameter test sets, join diplexer parts, serve as flexible test connections, or whatever you can dream up. They are very flexible, and are ideal bench cables for work up to 2.4Ghz. Our sweep tests on these were clean and flat up to 2.4Ghz, usable higher. These are all very close in size (and thus electrical length and phase) so they make perfect matched sets for any critical RF applications and S-parameter set connections. Center pins are gold on the Montrose M17/164-0001 cables, silver on the Alpha RG-214/U cables. These won't last long, so grab a few for your bench, these are all very clean used cables. There are two virtually identical types, one uses Montrose CDT cable, one uses Alpha Wire cable. We will send the same type if requested, and stock permits. Very low loss and artifacts, crimp construction.LOC: CAB25/WSS $25 each, 60 in stock |
52 Inch Cables![]() CLICK for BIGGER PIC! |
High Quality, Low-Loss N-Connector/SMA LMR-195 Coax Cables
These 52 inch low loss LMR-195 Times Microwave cables can be used to link up S-parameter test sets, join diplexer parts, or serve as flexible test connections or feedlines, whatever you can dream up. They are mildly flexible, and are good bench cables with very flat response (minimum artifacts) and straight loss curve. Our sweep tests show an amazing 1dB loss at 2.4Ghz, dropping to only 2dB at 4.0Ghz, still with very flat response. They work fine to 12.4Ghz (only 4dB of loss), but exhibit some minor scalloping above 4Ghz, all in all, great workhorse microwave cables. Center pins are gold on the M-Type N connectors, with all gold M-SMA connectors on the other ends. These won't last long, so grab a few for your bench, these are all very clean new production cables, bundled for use in new cell systems, but never used, mint condition. LOC: CAB52 / WSS2 $15 each, 80 in stock |
25 Foot Cables![]() CLICK for BIGGER PIC! |
High Quality, Low-Loss N-Connector 25 Foot Coax Cables These low loss 50 ohm feedlines can be used to link up antennas, remote equipment, or whatever you can dream up. They are NOT very flexible, and are meant for fixed installation. These are all very close in size (and thus electrical length and phase) so they make perfect matched sets for any critical RF antenna phasing connections. These are made with either Cushcraft Ultralink or Coleman Low Loss cable, and are NEW and unused, excellent for VHF, UHF and 800-900Mhz use. Crimp construction with connector seals. Just a few available, and these are HEAVY. LOC: CAB30 30A/WSS $35 each, 8 in stock |

FINALLY BACK IN STOCK, 3 pin round power cords (8 foot), for older HP test equipment. We get constant requests for these for older HP gear, so we searched all over the planet, and found brand new cords from Volex.

THESE ARE NOW DISCONTINUED FROM VOLEX, so when our stock is gone, we have no more available, and they all rapidly disppearing from distribution stock.$19/each Just got one last batch of 50 cords!!
