The Flexiform coaxial cable range from Habia Cable provides a reformable alternative to the traditional semi-rigid (copper tube) coaxial cables for high frequencies. Able to operate up to 18 GHz as standard, Flexiform is ideal for microwave applications and has the ability to be stripped and formed into position without the need for any speciallist tools. Handling is similar to any standard coaxial cable which means that traditional cut and strip machines can be used.
Flexiform
The standard Flexiform range is available in 401, 402 and 405 sizes (0.250”, 0.141” and 0.086” respectively). The smaller sizes (402 and 405) use Silver Plated Copper Covered Steel (SCCS) for their conductors in order to provide a stronger central core, but are available in Silver Plated Copper, non-magnetic (NM) options as this is of benefit in applications where passive intermodulation is an issue as well as improving the flexibility. Sizes: 401 (0.250”), 220 (0.110”) and 380 (0.171”) use SPC conductors as standard although the suffix NM is not included within their descriptions.
Flexiform L
Habia Cable has developed a low loss variant of Flexiform 401 and Flexiform 402. Using a profiled dielectric, the Flexiform L range has an attenuation approximately 7% less than the standard Flexiform range. This gives a phase stable, high performance coaxial cable with little dimensional trade off and no additional cost.
Flexiform SL
Habia Cable’s most recent innovation in Flexiform has been the development of a small, low loss variant of Flexiform 401 and Flexiform 402. Similar to the Flexiform L, these cables use a profiled dielectric to provide the electrical performance of a larger coaxial within a smaller space envelope.
Like Flexiform, the Multibend coaxial cable range from Habia Cable offers a flexible alternative to the traditional semi-rigid coaxial cables with an electrical performance that is almost identical. The solid copper tube that is normally used in a semi-rigid coax is replaced with a wrapped silver-plated copper foil and braid, giving excellent shielding properties and the added benefit that the coaxial is completely flexible and as such is able to be used in dynamic applications as well as fixed installed situations. Multibend is extremely cost effective as it eliminates the waste lengths traditionally associated with semi-rigid cables, yet with minimal performance penalties.
Multibend is typically used in antennas and cabinet systems, and can be found on a range of equipment from satellites and military systems to medical products. With an operating frequency of up to 18 GHz, Multibend is able to offer a microwave solution for a range of applications.
Multibend FJ
The standard construction for multbend is the FJ version which an FEP sheath. This maintains high temperature performance and cheminal resistance as well as excellent cut-through and abrasion properties. Though much less common than their Flexiform counterparts, some variants of the multibend FJ construction have been designed using Silver Plated Copper(SPC) non-magnetic conductors.
