Built with Northcomm Precision and Durability!
With extreme accuracy and designed with maximum durability to meet the professional LMR radio technician's demanding needs, Northcomm's Viavi 3920, CX300, 8800 and Astronics R8200 RF Test Cable assemblies are engineered to withstand the highly repetitive and abusive nature of the field test and service environment.
Assembly Fabrication Information
- Multifilament sleeving that meets or exceeds military specifications A-A-59301
- Highly resistant to abrasion, cuts, common automotive and marine chemicals, UV damage, and vibration, this protective layer will ensure that your RF test cables will survive the dirty and abusive test environments that are all too common at RF sites
- Type N RF connectors are custom fabricated from type 303 Passivated Stainless Steel
- The QMA connector is fabricated from type 303 Passivated Stainless Steel with a beryllium copper gold plated center contact
- Each connector is reinforced with high durability dual-wall heat shrink from 3M and finished in a yellow strain relieving outer sleeve that contains all relevant cable information within a 2-D barcode
Our fabrication process uses highly sophisticated computer-controlled machinery from Schleuniger that ensures the electrical and mechanical integrity of both the inner and outer conductors. This proprietary assembly system delivers repeatable and exacting tolerances that are simply unachievable with traditional hand tools.
Once complete, each and every assembly is barcoded and examined with our Rohde and Schwarz ZNB Vector Network Analyzer (S11 & S21) up to 6 GHz*. This data is recorded and provided to you with markers showing the exact losses at the LMR frequencies of interest.
