ClearPathTM Jumpers Low Loss/Light Weight - Series A
The
Clearpath series cable offers a low loss cable
solution without the cost of an
expensive high performance cable. This series employs
the same microporous PTFE dielectrics used in the
9 Series high performance, low loss cables, but
offers a simple double braid construction. This
construction gives the Clearpath series exceptional
electrical performance and allows for simplified
connector attachments to reduce overall costs. |
