Foam Flex 047 low loss coaxial cable is a high‑performance flexible microwave cable featuring a foamed PTFE (low‑density) dielectric that delivers lower attenuation and lighter weight compared to solid PTFE designs. With a rugged dual‑layer composite shield and an FEP jacket, this 28 AWG cable offers outstanding electrical performance up to 60 GHz while maintaining the flexibility and ease of handling of RG‑type cords.Designed as a direct replacement for semi‑rigid cables in demanding applications, Foam Flex 047 combines low loss, excellent shielding, and true flexibility – ideal for high‑frequency interconnects in aerospace, test & measurement, and wireless communications.
28AWG Foam-Flex 047 Low Loss Microwave Coaxial Cable Foamed PTFE Insulation for Communication
-
Wide Temperature Range: -55°C to +150°C operational capability for extreme environments.
-
Lower Attenuation:Foam PTFE contains more air, reducing dielectric loss—critical for long cable runs and high-frequency applications.
-
Higher Velocity of Propagation:Signals travel faster (80–85% vs. 70% for solid PTFE), reducing latency in time-sensitive systems.
-
Lighter Weight:Lower density dielectric reduces overall cable weight—ideal for aerospace and portable equipment.
-
Improved Flexibility:Foam structure is inherently more pliable, requiring lower bending force.
- Exceptional Phase Stability: Mechanical phase and amplitude stability under flexure, critical for phased array and high-precision applications.
-
Cost-Effective:Foam dielectrics can offer performance approaching air dielectric at lower cost.
- Wireless Communications: Higher velocity reduces latency; low loss improves system efficiency.
- Test & Measurement: Reduced need for power compensation in extended test setups.
- Aerospace: Lightweight construction reduces payload; flexible routing aids installation.
- PIM Test Cables: High shielding effectiveness ensures accurate passive intermodulation measurements.Foam-Flex 047
Engineers select Foam Flex 047 low loss coaxial cable when they need a flexible microwave cable that combines the low‑loss benefits of a foamed PTFE dielectric with the mechanical ruggedness required for demanding environments. Its 77% velocity of propagation and 25.9 pF/ft capacitance outperform solid‑PTFE designs, while the proven dual‑layer composite shielding guarantees >100 dB isolation up to 60 GHz. With a compact 1.48 mm outer diameter, tight bend radii, and compatibility with standard semi‑rigid connectors, Foam Flex 047 delivers semi‑rigid electrical performance in a truly flexible, easy‑to‑route package – ideal for aerospace, test & measurement, wireless backhaul, and millimeter‑wave systems.
