4 Superior Cable Technology Since no single cable is best suited for every type of application, Semflex offers a variety of 5 ohm cables carefully designed to meet specific performance/cost requirements. Different cable characteristics (i.e. flexibility, connector retention, torque and crush resistance, stability/repeatability with respect to temperature or flexure, cost, etc.) require special design considerations. Semflex s products lines take advantage of superior cable technology, carefully matching design and construction to specific application needs. Jacket Semflex utilizes a variety of jacket materials which are selected based on cost, flexibility, chemical and environmental considerations. Polyurethane- Low temperature rating, UV resistant, abrasion resistant, flexible (-65 to 85 C). FEP- High Temperature rating, chemical resistant, moisture resistant, low smoke, low outgassing (-65 to 2 C). Shielding Semflex provides several outer shield combinations comprised of silver or tin plated copper wire, bare copper or aluminum wire, and foil tapes ranging from 8 to 1% shielding coverage. Each cable is carefully designed to optimize braid design for cable function. Braid coverage is highly dependent on braid angle, number of picks, wire gauge size and number of strands - all of which affect the attenuation, flexibility, and shielding effectiveness of the cable. As a general rule, higher braid coverage yields better shielding and lower attenuation. Lower braid coverage yields better flexibility. Round Braid - lower material cost, most flexible braid option. Woven Flat Braid - lower contact resistance between braid wires resulting in lower attenuation, better coverage provides increased shielding effectiveness. Smoother conductor for lower VSWR. Increased connector retention and torque resistance. Helical Flat Braid - Improved flexibility and sheilding, increased phase stability vs flexure, lower radial torque resistance. Wrapped or Folded Foil - Polyemide (helical wrap) provides increased mechanical strength, high temp, chemical resistant. Polyester (folded) low temp, low strength, lowers contact resistance and atteuation. 299 Johnson Avenue SW Waseca, MN 5693 T:

Double Shield - Helical flat braid, round braid. Provides >1 db shielding effectiveness, phase stable vs flexure. Double Shield - Woven flat braid, round braid.

Double Shield - Round braid, round braid. Provides >6 db shielding effectiveness, flexible. Single Shield - Round braid, provides >4 db shielding effectiveness, very flexible. Dielectric Semflex utilizes a variety of dielectric materials which are selected based on signal loss (dissipation factor), temperature extremes, power rating and velocity of propagation. Our manufacturing process carefully controls the concentricity between the outer conductor and the center conductor to maintain consistent characteristic impedance and low structural return loss. Characteristic Impedance Tolerances Extruded dielectrics: < +/- 6% Tape wrapped dielectrics: < +/- 2% Polyethelene - Temp (-4 to 85 C), VP (66-85%) Solid PTFE - Temp (-65 to 125 C), VP (7%) Low Density PTFE - Temp (-65 to 2 C), VP (74-78%) Ultra Low Density PTFE - Temp (-65 to 2 C), VP (82-85%) Center Conductor Semflex offers a variety of center conductor materials with several different platings. Solid Conductors - Less resistance, lower loss, higher power. Stranded Conductors - More flexible. Silver Plating - Lowest loss, solderable. Copper Clad - Cost effective, solderable. The difference starts with the cable... 3

Semflex s published average power ratings are based on VSWR of 1.:1, at sea level and an ambient temperature of 25 C. The base line power ratings can be adjusted to meet the actual conditions by using the derating factors for both temperature and altitude from the chart below. % of Rated CW Power DERATING FOR TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE Temperature ( C) Altitude 5 4 Temperature k 2k 3k 4k 5k 6k 7k 8k 9k 1k 11k 12k 13k 14k Altitude (ft) Avg Power Peak Power Connector (Kw) (Kw) SMA BNC TNC UHF.3 1 N.6 1 HN.6 4 SC /16 DIN /9.5 DIN LC /8 EIA /8 EIA Average power ratings of connector interfaces are typical for most applications and based on 9 MHz.

10 LA Series Cable The LA Series provides the best available combination of low attenuation, phase stability and mechanical performance. For example, the LA29 cable provides <2 db/1 ft of signal loss at 18 GHz with a.29 overall diameter. Additionally, the carefully engineered construction provides excellent bend and crush resistance properties when compared to other ultra low loss cables. This cable series is the best choice for phase stability over temperature and flexure as outlined in electrical performance data.

The ultra low density microporous PTFE dielectrics and FEP jackets are engineered to provide the optimum combination of mechanical characteristics and stable electrical performance over temperature extremes. Low loss, phase stability, and shielding effectiveness of >1 db results from combining a helically served flat braid with a 97% coverage round braid. Semflex LA Series Silver Plated Copper Ultra Low Density Microporous PTFE Helically Wrapped Silver Plated Copper Braid Silver Plated Copper Round Braid Extruded FEP Jacket - Blue Tint Our LA29 s published temperature range defines the hot and cold temperature extremes the cable will perform at. This is based on the material properties that are used to construct the LA29 cable. However, there are no implied performance guarantees with respect to rapid temperature excursions between hot and cold extremes in a thermal shock situation. Semflex can not predict the rate of temperature change or the number of temperature excursions our product will experience in all possible customer applications; therefore we do not give a blanket statement of guaranteed product performance for something as strenuous as thermal shock. 299 Johnson Avenue SW Waseca, MN 5693 T:

12 HP Series Cable The HP Series has a long history in the military and aerospace industries as the interconnect cable of choice in ground, sea, and airborne systems. This series also excels in test and measurement applications offering high performance, flexibility, and a wide range of precision connectors for applications up to 5 GHz. The triple shield construction provides connector attachments that exceed *7 lbs of pull off force, (* HP19 with SMA connector) and harsh handling (i.e. radial torque, continuous flexing, or wide temperature extremes).

CABLE CONSTRUCTION The HP Series uses silver plated copper inner and outer conductors for low attenuation. The microporous PTFE dielectrics and FEP jackets provide consistent performance over temperature extremes with better phase performance over temperature compared to solid PTFE dielectrics. Shielding effectiveness >9 db results from a triple shield construction of woven flat braid, foil, and round braid. This construction also provides substantially better radial torque resistance and connector pull off strength than helically wrapped braid designs.

14 SW Series Cable The SW Series provides low loss cable solutions that bridge the gap between lower performance RG cables and expensive high performance cables. This series employs the same microporous PTFE dielectrics used in high performance, low loss cables, but offers a simple double braid construction. This construction gives the SW series exceptional electrical performance and allows for simplified connector attachments to reduce overall costs. The SW6, SW86 and SW15 cable sizes can be assembled with standard semirigid or RG style crimp on connectors.

16 KW Series Cable The KW Series has the same ultra low attenuation of rigid, corrugated, air dielectric cables, while offering higher power ratings and incredible flexibility. A copper clad aluminum conductor and soft pliable polyurethane jacket provides the flexibility needed to easily route cable in tight spaces such as cabinets and airframes where rigid cables require special tooling or simply do not fit. These features combine to reduce overall system integration costs by allowing designers to save space and installers to save time. CABLE PROPERTIES Mechanical Properties KW43 KW53 KW8 Jacket O.D.

20 SM Series Cable The SM Series offers a flexible alternative to semi-rigid cable, employing the same connectors and assembly tooling used for.86 and.141 versions. This allows designers to bypass the cumbersome and costly step of fabricating three dimensional drawings, for significant cost savings and accelerated time to market. This solution is ideal for applications such as military ECM and guidance systems, commercial antennas, communications applications, and anywhere compact or densely-spaced coaxial interconnects are needed.
