Hopefully someone can make use of these, although care must be taken if being "repurposed" - see my notes below.
Ex Anritsu RF Test Equipment (module to module interconnects)
Assorted lengths of semi-rigid RG405 coax with SMA connectors
Supplied as one lot, I will not separate these patch leads
7 different leads in total, broad details are:
2x U link style 35mm apart
2x U link style but formed in all sorts of directions! About 80mm apart
1x formed of approximately 290mm length
1x formed of approximately 320mm length
1x formed of approximately 260mm length
All leads are terminated at each end with SMA male connectors
All connectors are securely attached to the tubing at each end, no damage to the SMA's
The upside to this semi-rigid coax is the useable frequency up to around 40Ghz, low insertion loss and phase stability
The downside is the rigidity. These leads were originally formed by special machines and if being reshaped to suit other equipment, GREAT CARE must be taken to ensure coax integrity so that the nominal impedance remains unchanged (50 Ohm) so it is vital to avoid sharp bends/kinks or damage to the outer copper tubing.
This internal RF lead was originally installed in my "sacrificial" Anritsu MD1623B RF test equipment.
Possibly useful for other legacy communications equipment or a custom RF project.
RF internal equipment lead
Nominal Impedance: 50 Ohm
Frequency of use probably should be kept below 500Mhz due to the unknown characteristics of the coax. Both of these connectors are fine to 4Ghz but the coax characteristics are the big question - it doesn't look like RG179 for example. Anritsu used this lead for low frequency clock signals to be bought out externally.
Length: 70cm
Connectors: SMA Quick Disconnect (Push on Pull Off) Female to BNC bulkhead mount Female
Coax sheath is unidentified - plain grey
CONDITION:
Clean/shiny connectors - no damage
Coax is completely undamaged
