Description
The PSF-402 Patch Cable by Powertec is a 50cm coaxial cable featuring 4.3-10 Male connectors on both ends, designed for RF applications needing low Passive Intermodulation (PIM). The cable, part number CA-R402-431431.050, is made from Powertec’s PSF-402 series, known for its balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. This 0.141" semi-flexible coaxial cable supports frequencies up to 34 GHz and is microwave-grade with mode-free operation, making it ideal for component interconnection.
Its construction includes a tin-soaked copper braid offering near 100% RF shielding, ensuring high performance with minimal signal loss. The cable's 4.2mm bright blue outer jacket is malleable, reducing solder joint failures and permitting immediate bends behind the fillet. It can endure over 500 mating cycles, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding environments.
The PSF-402 Patch Cable is compliant with ISO 9001 and RoHS standards, reflecting its high-quality manufacturing. It features a VSWR of ≤ 1.2:1 at 3000 MHz and ≤ 1.5:1 at 6000 MHz, with a 3rd Order PIM rating of -155 dBc. Weighing 63 grams, this cable is particularly suited for RF connections requiring robust shielding and easy installation. Powertec, based in Australia, is a leader in wireless technology solutions.
