• SMA-F bulkhead connector at one end
• Excellent Return Loss and Insertion Loss
• Ideal for interconnect of assembled systems
Product Overview
The 086 SBSM Series Hand-Flex Coaxial Cables are ideal for interconnection of coaxial components or sub-
systems to equipment racks. The construction includes a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor which
maintains the shape after bending. The outer shield is copper braid, tin soaked, which minimizes signal leakage
and at the same time flexible for easy bend. Dielectric is low loss PTFE. Connectors have passivated stainless-
steel coupling nut over a gold plated connector body. SMA-M connector has gold plated, brass center conductor
and SMA-F has gold plated BeCuB center conductor.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
The 086 Series Hand-Flex cables are hand formable making them ideal for use integrating
coaxial components and sub-assemblies without the need for special cable-bending tools and
alleviating the risk of damage during the bending process typical of semi-rigid coaxial cable
assemblies.
Hand-Formable RF Cables
Mounts directly on equipment racks eliminating need for bulkhead adapter, thereby improving
reliability.
SMA-F bulkhead connector at one end
Tight Bend Radius
Capable of only 6mm bend radius, the 086 Hand Flex series is able to make connections in tight
spaces making these cables ideal for dense system integration.
Supporting typical return loss of 26 dB to 6 GHz and 19 dB to 18 GHz, the 086 Series Hand-Flex
Cables are ideally suited for interconnecting a wide variety of RF components while minimizing
VSWR ripple contribution due to mating cables & connectors.
Excellent Return loss
Good Power Handling Capability:
• 211W at 0.5 GHz
• 35W at 18 GHz
Mini-Circuits 086 Cable series can support medium to high RF power levels enabling these
cables to be used in the transmit path. (power rating is at sea-level altitudes)
Mini-Circuits 086 Series Hand Flex cables include an anti-torque feature to support the straight
SMA connector body during installation alleviating risk of stress to the connector/cable interface.
Built in Anti-torque nut
