True Flex 086 24 AWG Spiral Strip Coax Solid-Core Microwave Cable with FEP Jacket

True-Flex 086 is a premium 24 AWG spiral strip shield microwave cable designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-frequency RF applications in harsh environments. Engineered with a robust FEP dielectric and FEP jacket, this 2.57 mm diameter cable offers an optimal balance of low signal loss, high power handling, and exceptional phase stability.

Unlike standard semi-rigid cables that require special tools for installation, True-Flex 086 combines the electrical performance of hard-line cables with the ease of routing found in flexible jumpers. Its tight impedance control (+/- 1 ohm) and superior shielding effectiveness (>100 dB) make it the ideal interconnect solution for high-density wiring in 5G infrastructure and automotive radar systems.

• Low Attenuation & High Power - Featuring a larger 24 AWG solid silver-plated copper conductor, this cable minimizes signal loss and supports high power transmission (up to 1000 VRMS), making it perfect for transmitter and base station applications.
• Superior Shielding - The unique composite shield—comprising a helically overlapped flat silver-plated copper strip and a 90% coverage braid—ensures excellent EMI/RFI protection and prevents signal leakage.
• Extreme Durability - Constructed with extruded FEP materials, the cable withstands temperatures from -65°C to +165°C and is highly resistant to chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation.
• Enhanced Flexibility - With a minimum static bend radius of just 7.6 mm, it allows for easy routing in confined spaces without compromising performance, offering a high flex life for dynamic applications.
• Phase Stability - The solid PTFE-like FEP dielectric ensures stable phase response, critical for precision microwave and radar systems.

• Telecommunications - Essential for 5G base station antenna links and microwave backhaul due to its low attenuation and high power handling capabilities.
• Automotive Radar - Ideal for connecting testing equipment in ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and autonomous vehicle radar development.
• Industrial Microwave Systems - Suitable for high-power industrial heating and drying systems where standard semi-rigid cables are too brittle to install.
• High-Density Electronics - The smaller bend radius allows for easier routing in densely packed electronic enclosures compared to traditional semi-rigid cables.

• Q: Why is this microwave cable suitable for high-power applications? A: With a larger 24 AWG conductor and a maximum operating voltage of 1000 VRMS, this spiral strip coax can handle significantly more power than smaller gauge cables while maintaining low signal loss.
• Q: Can this microwave cable be used in outdoor environments? A: Yes, the FEP jacket provides excellent resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and chemicals, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor harsh environments.
• Q: What makes the "Spiral Strip" construction different from standard braiding? A: Standard braiding can have small gaps that allow signal leakage. Our spiral strip coax uses a precision-wound metal strip that ensures 100% coverage, providing superior isolation and lower transfer impedance than braid-only designs.
• Q: Is this microwave cable RoHS compliant? A: Yes, the True-Flex 034 series is manufactured with materials that comply with RoHS directives.
• Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)? A: The standard MOQ is 1,000 meter per part number. However, we do keep stock of popular lengths for quick shipment. Contact our sales team to check availability.
• Q: Can I get this spiral strip coax pre-terminated with connectors? A: Absolutely. We offer custom cable assembly services with a wide range of RF connectors (SMA, N-Type, 2.92mm, etc.) to meet your specific project needs.
• Q: Do you offer free samples for testing? A: Yes, we provide free samples up to 10 feet for evaluation purposes. Please reach out to our sales team with your requirements.
