SMA to SMP cable assembly configuration
Amphenol RF has announced a new configuration of SMA to SMP assemblies to its expansive line of fixed-length cable assemblies.
This assembly consists of a straight SMA plug with a right-angle SMP plug and utilises the Tflex 405 cable type from Amphenol Times Microwave Systems which is a flexible alternative to semi-rigid coax. The SMA to SMP assembly is versatile and can be used in military and test & measurement applications, as well as wireless infrastructure.
The SMA plug features a gold-plated, stainless steel anti-torque body while the SMP plug is manufactured with gold-plated, beryllium copper. The right-angle SMP also provides for a lower mated height with no bend radius for applications with small size requirements. This assembly offers excellent electrical performance up to 18GHz and is available in multiple standard lengths.
These cable assemblies join a robust portfolio of various SMA and SMP in-series and between-series options. Variations include waterproof IP67 sealed and ruggedised solutions to accommodate project-specific requirements and support designs in harsh environments.
