Samtec Nitrowave High-Performance RF Cable Assemblies

Samtec Nitrowave High-Performance RF Cable Assemblies use a coaxial structure with an outer jacket and a low density dielectric to reduce signal loss. These assemblies maintain phase and amplitude stability during flexure and provide consistent contact resistance between conductive layers. The Nitrowave cable assemblies feature an impedance of 50Ω and a velocity of propagation of 77%. Typical applications include aerospace, defense, datacom, computer and semiconductor equipment, and instrumentation systems.
