Nimble, durable, and precise RF test cables compatible with VNA equipment from top brands.

A Suite of Precision RF Test Cables for Dynamic Environments

Overview

ConductRF developed the True VNA Test Cable family to provide cost-efficient, highly precise, and directly compatible RF test cables for use with Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) from Anritsu, Copper Mountain Technologies, Keysight, Rohde and Schwarz, and other top VNA equipment brands for RF/microwave S-parameter level testing. These cables are engineered for preserving measurement integrity over numerous tests, especially when cables are constantly moving, flexing, and being repositioned during VNA measurements.

Unlike ConductRF’s general-purpose RF and microwave test cables—which provide excellent performance for many laboratory and production testing applications—our True VNA cables are engineered specifically for Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements where a cable assembly’s phase stability, amplitude consistency, and connector repeatability directly impact S-parameter testing accuracy.

By combining controlled electrical performance with durable mechanical construction, ConductRF True VNA RF Test Cables allow engineers to adjust test setups, reposition DUTs, and iterate measurements with confidence that the test interconnect itself is not introducing measurement uncertainty.
