TRUtest_8 page_031615_Layout 1 3/16/15 5:03 PM Page 1 TRUtest™ Series General Purpose Test Cable Assemblies • Matched performance to 18 GHz • Repeatable, stable performance TRUtest™ Series cable assemblies combine MIL-standard test-grade interfaces with flexible and durable cable construction to provide repeatable, reliable performance and long service life. Three standard connector configurations are available for rapid delivery to your test application—SMA, Type N and 3.5 mm. TRUtest™ assemblies utilize a low density, PTFE tape-wrapped core to provide excellent loss and phase stability over a broad temperature rating. • Low insertion loss and VSWR • 100% RF tested • MIL-STD-348 test interfaces • Stainless steel connectors • Excellent cable-connector retention • Ideally suited for production test stations and engineering labs The TRUtest™ Series combines robust design and material construction. Stainless steel connectors provide durable mating interfaces that will not degrade over multiple mating and torque. Our unique cable-connector attachment technology has been designed to eliminate the cable junction as a point of mechanical stress failure. TRUtest™ Series cable assemblies are engineered to provide excellent reliability and performance in all your test applications. In addition to our general purpose cable assemblies, TRU also offers a wide variety of associated test solutions that include precision and millimeter-wave adapters. In addition to our standard catalog products, TRU can engineer a wide range of custom design solutions to meet your challenge.
