EZ Form EZ-Flex 402 SMA cable

Product Description

EZ Form EZ-Flex 402 SMA Male to Male Flexible RF Cable

This is an EZ Form EZ-Flex 402, a flexible, low-loss coaxial cable assembly with SMA male connectors on both ends. With a length of 35.5 inches (approx. 90 cm), it is designed for reliable RF/microwave connections in test, measurement, communication, and prototyping applications where flexibility and repeated bending are required.

Key Specifications:

• Model: EZ Form EZ-Flex 402 (Flexible Series)

• Connectors: SMA Male to SMA Male

• Length: 35.5 inches (901 mm)

• Impedance: 50 Ohm

• Cable Type: Flexible, low-loss coaxial

• Frequency Range: Typically suitable up to 6 GHz (performance dependent on cable grade)

• VSWR: Low (typically <1.3:1 within rated frequency)

• Jacket: Usually black PVC or similar flexible material

Why This Cable Is a Practical Choice:

• Flexibility: The EZ-Flex design withstands repeated bending without significant performance degradation, ideal for bench setups or moving connections.

• SMA Universality: SMA connectors are standard for many RF devices: spectrum analyzers, signal generators, antennas, filters, amplifiers, and SDRs.

• Precise Length: The 35.5″ length is convenient for connecting equipment in a rack or on a bench without excessive slack.

Applications:

• Test & Measurement: Connecting lab instruments (VNA, signal generator, power meter) to DUTs.

• Wireless/Communications: Linking RF modules, antennas, filters, or amplifiers in prototyping.

• Education & Research: General-purpose RF connection for university labs or hobbyist projects.

• Aerospace/Defense: Used in ground support equipment or avionics test setups (if specifications match requirements).

Important Notes:

• Inspect Before Use: Check SMA male center pins for straightness and alignment; ensure threads are not cross-threaded.

• Frequency Limitations: Verify that the cable’s frequency rating meets your application needs, especially for higher-frequency use (>3 GHz).

• Torque Appropriately: Use an SMA torque wrench (typically 5-8 in-lbs) to avoid connector damage.
