40 GHz Flexible Cable
40 GHz Flexible Cable
Since the losses in electrical cables and connectors depend on the frequency of the RF signal, using the correct cable type, length and connector is essential. Our 40-GHz flex cable provides high performance at a reasonable cost, and connector adapters for additional compatibility are also available.
- Reasonably priced, high performance 40-GHz flexible cable
- For use with our photodetectors and photoreceivers

High Performance Cable at a Reasonable Price
Typical coaxial cables, which are made with RG-58, are very lossy beyond 1 GHz and should not be used with Newport's ≥12-GHz photoreceivers and photodetectors. On the other hand, very expensive cables are available up to 50 GHz with acceptable, but non-negligible, losses. Newport offers the optimal solution with our 1227NF 40-GHz flex cable which provides high performance at a reasonable cost. This 24-inch flexible cable has a male Wiltron K connector at one end and a female Wiltron K connector at the other end.
Connector Adapters for Additional Compatibility
To extend the compatibilty of the 40-GHz flex cable with more photoreceivers and photodetectors, two connector adapters are available. Model 1225 connector adapter features a male SMA connector on one end and a female BNC connector on the other end, while model 1226 connector adapter has a female SMA connector on one end and a male BNC connector on the other.
