Flexible Coaxial Cable For Ka-Band

Coax Cable & Connector Specifications

Advanced Technical Materials manufactures high performance coaxial microwave cable for the Satcom Ka-Band. Our cable covers the 18.3 - 31.0 GHz band which yields very low Insertion Loss characteristics, high power capability and is Amplitude and Phase Stable.

This specific coaxial cable line has two different sizes of cable,  CF-210 for the downlink 18.3 - 20.2GHz and CF-135 for the uplink 27.5 - 31.0GHz and full Ka-Band 18.3 - 31.0GHz.  Cable assemblies are available with SMA and 2.9smm connectors.  Please call us and discuss your needs with one of our design engineers.
