The Lab-Flex AF family is an upgraded version of Florida RF Labs’ Lab-Flex cable which has been modified to handle the harsh environments associated with most airborne, shipboard and ground-based applications.
The proprietary cable assembly design utilises a redundant sealing system to ensure moisture resistance to both cable and connector interfaces. This design has been fully qualified to meet or exceed all the requirements of MIL-T-81490 in designs up to 40 GHz.
It also employs a very durable dielectric design which is able to withstand crushing or kinking. This optimised, triple-shielded cable design is protected by a Nomex jacket which provides abrasion resistance during installation and general use of the assembly.
One characteristic of Lab-Flex cables is the cable-to-connector termination utilising solder sleeves. Common methods of cable terminations such as crimping or clamping the outer cable braids to the connector body does not capture all of the braid, which leads to intermittent electrical performance and low connector (retention) pull strength.
With the Lab-Flex solder sleeve, both the inner and outer braid are directly soldered 360 degrees around the sleeve. This solder sleeve provides the best braid-to-connector termination, assuring enhanced electrical performance and high retention pull strength.
