Frequently Asked Power Sensor Questions

What is an RF Cable?

RF cables, or radio frequency cables, are essential for transmitting high-frequency signals between different components in an electronic system. Common uses include:

Connecting antennas to receivers or transmitters
Routing signals between test equipment and DUTs (devices under test)
Integrating RF modules in communications and radar systems
Supporting signal paths in 5G, IoT, and satellite applications

Whether for test benches or deployed systems, the right RF cable ensures signal integrity, low loss, and consistent performance.

Which Products Typically Include RF Cables?

RF cables are found in a wide variety of commercial and industrial systems. Products and assemblies that typically include an RF cable or RF coax cable are:

Test and measurement insturments
RF signal generators and analyzersWireless base stations and repeaters
Satellite communications systems
Military and aerospace electronics
IoT devices and wireless sensor networks

These systems require dependable connections that support the necessary bandwidth, shielding, and mechanical durability

How Do I Use an RF Cable?

Using an RF cable involves proper matching of cable type, length, and connector to your specific application:

Determine system impedance: Choose between 50-Ohm or 75-Ohm RF coaxial cable depending on system design.
Select the right connectors: Match male/female and connector types such as SMA, N-Type, or BNC.
Consider form factor: Use a right angle RF cable connector in tight spaces; opt for straight connectors for direct paths.
Manage cable routing: Avoid sharp bends or crimping. Use strain reliefs where needed.
Verify signal performance: Choose precision test leads when measurement accuracy is critical.

Each Mini-Circuits cable is tested for performance across its full frequency range and environmental conditions.

Which RF Cable is Right For Me?

Choosing the right RF cable depends on several factors:

Frequency range: Ensure the cable supports your system’s bandwidth. Mini-Circuitscables perform up to 110 GHz.
Connector type: Options include SMA RF cable, N-Type, BNC, 2.92mm, and more.
Mechanical constraints: Use right angle RF cable connectors for limited-spaceinstallations.
Flexibility and durability: Consider ruggedized options for field use.
Precision requirements: Opt for low-loss, phase-stable cables for testenvironments.

What is the difference between system interconnect cables and precision test leads?

System interconnect cables are used for permanent or semi-permanent installation in RF systems. They are optimized for durability and consistent performance. Precision test leads are used in lab and production environments where accurate signal measurement is critical. These cables are designed for low insertion loss, phase stability, and repeatable measurements.

What should I know about the customer cable build?

Mini-Circuits supports custom RF cable assemblies to match specific length, frequency, shielding, and connector requirements. Our team can help you configure your cable build with precise specs, including options for thermal performance and environmental sealing.

When do I need a straight, right-angle, bulkhead, or quick-connect radio frequency cables?

Straight connectors: Best for low-profile, direct connections.
Right-angle connectors: Ideal for tight spaces and bend-limited environments.
Bulkhead connectors: Useful for panel-mount or through-wall cable entry.
Quick-connect: Designed for frequent connect/disconnect scenarios.

Each format is available across our line of RF coaxial cable assemblies.
