THE CTC EXPERIENCE

Introducing a new member to our Test line, it will fulfill all your needs for a flexible, shielded, phase stable, durable Test Cable.

The CTS is a version of the NTC with heavy armor. The electrical specs are the same but, what a difference. Superior torque and crush resistance, the design incorporates a stainless steel conduit covered with a stainless steel braid rendering it a virtually indestructible assembly. We actually drove a solid wheeled fork truck across it. This cable is ideal for Production testing or applications where there is excessive twisting and contorting imposed by the process or the operator.

The trade off is the min. bend radius: NTC = 1.0 in. CTC = 1.5 in.

If RFI/EMI is a concern, the effective shielding under dynamic conditions is in excess of -110 dBc. Flexco Microwave, Inc.

ORDERING INFORMAnON Part Numbering 34 Connectors & Ordering Options 35 Flexco Microwave introduced the first high performance flexible cable in 1970, representing a major advance in coaxial interconnects. The unique, super-flexible outer conductor designs patented by Flexco have enabled systems and test engineers to design-in better performance ever since. Today, Flexco's unique convoluted outer conductor remains unmatched for performance and flexibility during installation and operation. As you compare the specifications in this catalog, check for performance properties your program requires, then compare maximum flexibility. You'll agree: Nobody beats Flexco. Benefits of Flexco's Unique Designs Flexco Microwave's sealed outer conductor is manufactured using a patented process to form a highly flexible, tubular outer conductor from the highest quality copper. Center conductors are silver plated copper. Flexco's patented dielectric processing methods make calculated helical cuts to air-articulated PTFE, nearly creating a flexible "air line." Dielectric cuts are PTFE, polyethylene and expanded PTFE tape. These designs allow for no change in concentricity between the inner and outer conductors during repeated flexing, and therefore no change in electrical performance.

• Extreme Flexibility • Lower VSWR • Lower Insertion Loss • Improved Electrical Stability • Lower Phase versus Temperature Coefficient • Better Phase Tracking • Crush Proof and Rugged

Under flexure, nobody beats Flexco's ability to maintain phase and amplitude performance - repeatedly over time. Flexco's unique outer conductor and dielectric designs keep the center conductor where it belongs under flexure: Concentric with the outer conductor. The result is superior performance and more precise test results in your application. FLEXible COaxial cable from Flexco Microwave (inset) keeps its shape under flexure while electrical performance remains virtually unchanged. Seamless outer conductors tend to crush and break; braided outer conductors will "cage" at the bottom of the bend and "spread out" at the top - a detriment to performance.

A Team Approach: Service, Design, Manufacturing The challenge of any precision interconnection require- ment demands expertise in Design, Manufacturing, and Service. Accordingly, Flexco's "team" approach is organ- ized under these three categories. Service Service oversees all aspects of Flexco's daily operations, and is the driving force behind the company's sustained growth and success. The Service Team interfaces directly Flexco's unique design permits with customers and the sales force, delivery notification, "preforms." and all other aspects of customer service. In addition, this team maintains the thousands of custom cable designs Flexco has amassed over the years, and ensures prompt response to your needs. Company administrative functions, human resources, finance, and marketing are also part of the Service Team. The Design and Development Team heads up all new

Having set the standard for flexibility and performance in the outer conductor, Flexco engineers J continue to develop improvements in other cable components. A patented dielectric significantly reduces material content and increases velocity of propagation.

CW or average power handling capability of any cable assembly depends on several factors: connectors, frequency, physical size, ambient temperature, altitude, routing, ambient airflow, etc. In all cases, average power failure will occur when power transmitted into a cable assembly generates resistive and dielectric heating at rate which is higher than the rate at which built up heat energy can be dissipated. Heat energy must be transferred through the different layers of cable assembly construction and radiated away from the cable assembly via its outer surfaces.

Flexco's unique outer conductor design and extruded, homogeneous, air articulated PTFEdielectrics combine to provide higher average power handling capabilities than other cable assemblies of similar size which use foil wrapped and braided style outer conductors. The copper material and deep convolutions of Flexco's outer conductor exhibit excellent thermal conductivity properties and dissipate heat very efficiently. Air articulated dielectrics allow the transfer of heat from the center conductor to the outer conductor to occur much more rapidly than solid or tape wrapped dielectrics, which act as an insulator and will actually restrict heat transfer. The following power handling curves can be used to approximate the power handling capabilities of Flexco cables at different frequencies. These power curves are based on conditions at sea level, 40°C ambient temperature and 1:1 VSWR. Power handling derating factors for temperature and altitude are expressed as a percentage of the rated power. Since cable assembly power handling capability is influenced by many factors, it may be necessary to test the cable assembly under conditions which simulate the application envelope.

Phase Stability versus Bending

Flexco Microwave cable assemblies exhibit superior phase vs. bending characteristics because of several unique design features. Flexco's outer conductor design, with its fine pitch and deep convolutions, remains concentric during bending. The center conductor is firmly supported by tr,e dielectric which also maintains its concentricity with the outer conductor during bending. Foil wrap':>ed and braided outer conductors, which become non-concentric or oval shaped during bending" cause electrical performance variations when flexed. Most Flexco cable assemblies are manufactured using a patented process which mechanically locks the outer conductor to the dielectric, restricting any relative movement during bending. The graph below shows phase change versus bending on a typical Flexco cable assembly.

Phase Stability versus Temperature Changes

Flexco Microwave has the most expansive range of cable products with many different dielectric designs, including extruded PTFE(AexcoSp/ine, Hi-Ve/and solid), expanded PTFE,PEEKand high density polyethelyne. Each dielectric construction offers a different phase versus temperature profile and when the affects of each independent phase characteristic, including coefficients of thermal expansion, transitions at room temperature, hysteresis and water absorption are known, each variable can be improved by manufacturing processes. Flexco engineering will then optimize velocity of propagation to produce a curve with a customer-specific optimal phase change vs. temperature. The graph below illustrates a typical optimized 1 foot cable assembly with a PTFEdielectric. Over temperature the phase change is 1 degree C at 3 GHz

Phase Tracking

Phase tracking is the ability of two (or more) cable assemblies to remain within a defined phase window over a range of temperature, bend or both. Consistent phase tracking at Flexco Microwave is achieved by manufacturing process controls which insure cable assembly repeatability. Since different cable assembly types are manufactured using different assembly techniques and materials. specific phase tracking specifications must be defined by customer request.

Phase & Delay Matching

Phase matched cable assemblies are a group of two or more cable assemblies with the same nominal phase (electrical) length or delay. Because of slight variations in the velocity of propagation, two cables which are mechanically the same length may not have the same electrical length. To compensate for these variations, cable assembly mechanical lengths often require minor adjustments. Customers must specify the minimum allowable mechanical length tolerance in addition to a required phase length. The amount of adjustment required to the cable assembly's mechanical length is dependent on cable type, length. matching tolerance, and matching frequency. The table below illustrates the electrical length changes which will occur with as little as a ± 0.5% variation in velocity of propagation.

Example: Electrical Length vs, Velocity of Propagation

Cable Type: FCB92 Mechanical Length: 48 inches Rated Velocity of Propagation: 83% Matching Frequency: 16 GHz Electrical Length Variation: 340.05 degrees

Space Qualification

Flexco Microwave has provided high performance coaxial cable assemblies to Level "S" since 1974, including the TIROS, DMSP and SATCOM programs. Flexco's experienced assembly staff certifies to MIL-STD-2000,NHB5300.4 3A-2 and a MIL-I- 45208 quality program.

Effects of an orbital environment

Resultsfrom Long Duration EffectsFacility("LDEF")show that, after 5.8 years in orbit, PTFE degrades only I mil (.001") due to direct exposure to vacuum ultra violet ("VLN") radiation and low earth orbit ("LEO")(100-350 miles) atornic oxygen. Degradation occurs only with a combination of VLN radiation and LEOatomic oxygen. Copper was not affected by the VLN radiation but did oxidize 600-1CO) angstroms due to LEO atomic oxygen.

Flexco'souter conductor shieldsthe PolytetrafluoroethyienerPlrE") dielectric from direct exposureto VLN radiation. Since the PTFEis not directly exposed to VLN radiation, there isno reactivity with the LEOatomic oxygen and therefore no moss loss. Thislaboratory investigation isfound in the engineering notes of SpxecrafP 1,

Flexco's sealed outer conductor is formed vlith a continuous copper strip and a completely soldered seam. Theconductor does not relyon a surface contact area for itsoperation and is not affected by oxidation, Field test resultsprove Flexco cables are not electrically affected by surface oxidation over time as exterior braiding and/or jacketing eliminates oxidation and provides added protection against handling, meteoroids and debris.

Additional Protection

Flexco offers many different options for providing additional environmental protection. Forhigh EMIIRFIenvironments, longitudinal stressand outer protection, a braided jacket made from non-metallic fibers and metallic alloys can be added, Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP)and other types of shrink tubing jacket and connector strain reliefscan be added for additional protection from exposure to both an operational and non,-operational orbital environment.
