LOWELL, Mass. – October 30, 2007 – Tyco Electronics
announced today that it has extended the M/A-COM family of high-performance,
lightweight cables to include five new cable types covering a variety
of outer diameter sizes and constructions. The M/A-COM FA20RXLW, FA29RXLW,
FA46RXLW, FN49RXLW and FN52RLLW augment the company’s successful FN34RXLW
cable line and are ideally suited for use in electronic defense, launch
vehicles, commercial aviation, space/satellites and other general purpose
military applications.
“We understand and appreciate that the
rigorous requirements of modern airborne applications, especially the
demands on high-quality cable assemblies,” said Ray Schwartz, product
manager, Tyco Electronics. “The expansion of the M/A-COM family of lightweight
cables assemblies is a deliberate effort to provide our customers with
the most versatile and comprehensive line of high-quality components
that are guaranteed to satisfy the demands of even the most demanding
airborne applications.”
As outlined in the table below, each
of the new cables offers a 25-31% weight savings over traditional construction
with no change in VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Radio) or insertion loss.
The new assemblies can also withstand the same harsh environments as
M/A-COM traditional assemblies, including altitudes from ground-level
to more than 70,000 feet and temperatures variations from -55°C to +200°C.
Complementing the lighter cables, all assemblies feature reduced weight
and volume connectors which retain conventional ETNC, SMA and N interfaces
while incorporating new materials. The new M/A-COM assemblies are also
available in various outer diameters and numerous jacket materials.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
