PIM testing cable

Webb Industries has added Times Microwave’s SilverLine-LP, a test cable specifically designed for field and production passive intermodulation (PIM) testing, to its product offering.
Unlike standard corrugated test leads that experience rapid failures due to kinking and connector/cable interface breakage, the SilverLine-LP is steel-armoured and has a massive, solid metal backshell to protect the cable-to-connector interface against virtually all possibilities for damage. The robust design results in much longer product life and reduces the occurrence of faulty test results.
SilverLine PIM is ideal for use with portable PIM testers in field test applications and for use with benchtop PIM analysers in a lab or factory environment.
In the field this test cable represents a dependable test lead, eliminating the need to rebuild or re-terminate a test lead on site or cancel a test entirely. In the factory it saves labour by providing more accurate and consistent results over a far longer product life, thus reducing the possibility of rejects caused by faulty test leads.
Other features and benefits include: better than -117 dBm (-160 dBc) performance; a set of low PIM adaptors with connector saver (optional); and a retractable, OneTurn connector for fast-on, fast-off mating. The SilverLine-LP test cable is easier to handle than corrugated cable, is water-resistant and RoHS compliant.
