Ruggedization and Precision Up to 40 GHz

The Durable Choice for Dynamic Testing

Overview

Tuff-Flex VNA™ Test Cables are designed for RF/microwave test environments where cable durability and connection integrity are essential. These cables provide stable RF performance while incorporating additional rugged mechanical structure capable of withstanding frequent handling and high torsion forces.

A stainless-steel spiral conduit armor protects the cable core from excessive bending and crushing forces. This design makes Tuff-Flex cables well suited for high-volume engineering laboratories, automated test systems, and high-use RF and microwave production test and measurement environments.
