Overview
A phase stable coaxial cable is a high-performance RF cable designed to minimize phase variation under changing environmental and mechanical conditions. Unlike standard coaxial cables, which can exhibit significant phase drift when exposed to temperature fluctuations, bending, or flexing, phase stable cables maintain consistent electrical length and performance, ensuring reliable signal integrity in demanding applications.
Features
Phase Stability: Engineered to reduce phase shift caused by temperature changes, flexure, or mechanical stress.
Frequency Range: Available in versions supporting DC up to 110 GHz and beyond, depending on design.
Construction: Uses low-loss dielectric materials (e.g., PTFE variants, expanded PTFE, or proprietary composites) and precision manufacturing for minimal variation.
Flexibility & Durability: Designed for repeated flexing, suitable for lab test environments, production testing, and field use.
Connector Options: Compatible with precision RF connectors such as SMA, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm,1.0 mm and others.
Applications
Vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements
Automated test equipment (ATE)
High-frequency device characterization
Aerospace, defense, and satellite communication systems
towers, repeaters, routers, and access points for reliable RF signal transfer
radar systems, avionics, and navigation equipment
5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, and satellite communication systems

FAQ
Sample Delivery Time
Regular models require 15 days, while some complex connectors require 25 days.
Sample Fee
Most RF connectors are CNC-machined parts and do not require mold-making.
However, each part needs to be fine-tuned on the CNC machine. Typically, a single sample costs $200.
This fee will be refunded after a 5K bulk order.
Guarantee
Brass RF connectors come with a one-year warranty.
Stainless steel connectors come with a three-year warranty.
The lifespan also depends on the contact material beryllium contacts offer better durability.
ROHS & REACH Compliance
Our products fully comply with ROHS & REACH regulations.
Does LENORF Offer Military-Grade Products?
Yes. We are honored to provide military-grade products with exceptionally stable quality.
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
Regular connectors: 500 PCS
Adapters: 100 PCS
Military connectors: 100 PCS
Materials
Common materials include:
Body: Brass, stainless steel
Insulator: PTFE, PEEK
Contacts: Brass, phosphor bronze, beryllium copper
Other: Aluminum, titanium alloy
Are RF connectors weatherproof?
Some RF connectors are designed with gaskets and sealing (e.g., N-type, 4.3-10) for outdoor telecom, antennas, and harsh environments. Indoor lab connectors (e.g., SMA, BNC) are usually not weatherproof unless specified.
What’s the difference between male and female RF connectors?
Male: Has a center pin and usually an outer thread or bayonet. Female: Has a receptacle (socket) for the center pin and matching thread. Some connectors (like SMA) can be confusing because “reverse polarity” (RP-SMA) swaps pin/socket configuration.
What is VSWR, and why does it matter?
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) indicates signal reflection. Ideal: 1.0 (perfect match). Lower VSWR means less signal loss and distortion.
What are typical applications of RF connectors?
Telecom (5G, LTE, satellite) Aerospace & defense (radar, avionics, secure comms) Test & measurement (network/spectrum analyzers) Broadcast & video distribution Automotive radar and IoT devices Medical imaging & equipment
