Semi-Flex Cable Assembly

INTRODUCTION

FEATURES

Semi-Flex® coaxial cable assemblies are a tried and
proven alternative to traditional Semi-Rigid Coaxial
Cables. These cables provide comparable electrical
performance to semi-rigid cables, while simultaneously
allowing simple formation for use within RF/Microwave
systems, as well as, for making external connections to
other equipment. The outer conductor is comprised of a
tin filled copper wire braid, which enables easy forming
and re-forming by hand without the need for bending
tools. With a Copper/Poly Foil inner layer along with SemiRigid style dielectric and center conductor, our Semi-Flex
cables provide enhanced shielding and performance that
exceeds traditional conformable cables.
There is no significant electrical performance degradation
when the Semi-Flex cables are formed into position. The
conformable property of the cable allows it to retain its
shape making field installations fast and simple. The
malleable nature of the outer jacket eliminates solder
joint failures and allows bends immediately behind
the fillet. These features, along with CarlisleIT’s AntiTorque connector designs (see inset) remarkably extend
the assemblies’ working life even after many connect/
disconnect cycles.
CarlisleIT’s Semi-Flex cable assemblies allow you to meet
deadlines, reduce cost, eliminate tooling and drafting
needs, and simplify manufacturing processes all at once.
