Bend-to-the-end Electrical Stability Test of MB260L Cable

MB series from RF ONE is flexible, tight bend cables operating to 50GHz, ideal for high frequency internal interconnection applications. As alternative to Minibend series, it is allowed to bend multiple times just behind the connector with negligible VSWR and insertion loss degradation.


Benefits of MB series

  • Frequency up to 50GHz
  • Direct replacement for 0.086'' semi-rigid cables
  • Triple-shielding, high pull strength
  • No solder joint failure
  • Replaces right angle connectors


To take a closer look on how our featured MB260L cable performs under bending from connector end conditions, please download the report Bend-to-the-end Electrical Stability Test of MB260L Cable 


Experiment and qualifications tests prove that MB260L cable can be repeatedly (10 times) bent from connector end with little degradation in VSWR and insertion loss. 


MB260L is an enhanced low loss tight bend flexible cable built with micro-porous PTFE dielectric resulting in improved phase stability over temperature change and flexing. 


When repeated bending immediately from connector end is required, our MB250 which is built with solid PTFE dielectric is another option, boosting almost no change in VSWR and insertion loss after multiple times of bending.  View RF ONE MB250 and MB260L.
