Product Description
The Astrolab ATM cable assembly offers a singular combination of mechanical
durability and electrical stability.The unique construction of the armor
jacket affords the ATM cable immunity to the effects of torque and the
physical stress of a typical laboratory environment. The internal cable
provides extremely stable attenuation and phase vs flexure performance up to
50 GHz. |
