0.070" Non-Magnetic Semi-Rigid Coax 50 Ohm RF Coax Cable with Solid Outer Conductor
The SR-070C is a precision 0.070 inch (1.78mm) non-magnetic semi-rigid coaxial cable engineered for applications where ferrous materials cannot be tolerated. Featuring seamless copper tube construction with 100% RF shielding, this 50 Ohm RF coax cable utilizes a silver-plated copper center conductor with no steel content, verified non-magnetic for MRI systems, quantum computing cryostats, and precision instrumentation. The PTFE dielectric delivers 70% velocity of propagation with capacitance of 95.2 pF/m and impedance tolerance of ±1.0 Ohm. With higher order mode frequency extending to 68 GHz and voltage withstanding of 4800V RMS, this cable supports demanding medical imaging and research applications. The copper tube outer conductor at 0.070 ±0.001 inch diameter ensures consistent mechanical fit with standard connectors. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +100°C with RoHS compliance. Available in custom lengths with various termination options, backed by a 10 meter minimum order quantity.

A: The critical difference is the center conductor material. Standard 0.070" semi-rigid cables use copper-clad steel which introduces magnetic susceptibility. SR-070C uses a 0.0179 inch silver-plated copper center conductor with no ferrous content, verified non-magnetic for MRI and quantum applications.
A: Voltage withstanding is 4800V RMS at 60 Hz, suitable for high-power RF applications in medical imaging and research systems.
A: 68 GHz, ensuring clean propagation through the specified 40 GHz operating range with margin.
A: 50.0±1.0 Ohm, tighter than standard semi-rigid coax cables for precision applications requiring exact impedance matching.
A: 0.125 inches (3.175 mm) for static installation, allowing formable routing in tight spaces.
A: -55°C to +100°C, suitable for most laboratory and medical environments.
A: 1.20 kg per 100 meters, relatively lightweight for its diameter.
