Product description

SR-086-SP is a 0.086 inch semi-rigid coaxial cable designed for RF and microwave signal transmission, featuring a silver plated copper outer conductor for improved surface conductivity and enhanced high-frequency performance. Compared with standard SR-086 cables, the silver plating helps reduce RF losses caused by skin effect while also improving shielding effectiveness. The microwave cable uses a silver-plated copper-clad steel center conductor and PTFE dielectric, providing stable 50 ohm impedance and reliable signal integrity. Its formable copper tube structure allows the cable to be bent and fixed into precise shapes, making it suitable for compact RF modules, test equipment, and microwave assemblies. Following the industry-standard 0.086 inch semi-rigid format, it can be used as an alternative to UT-086 in a wide range of RF cable assembly applications.

FAQ

Q: What is SR-086-SP semi-rigid coax cable?

A: SR-086-SP is a 0.086 inch semi-rigid coaxial cable featuring a silver plated copper outer conductor, designed for RF and microwave signal transmission with improved conductivity and shielding performance.

Q: How is SR-086-SP different from standard SR-086 cable?

A: The key difference is the outer conductor plating. SR-086-SP uses a silver plated copper tube, which reduces surface resistance and improves high-frequency performance compared with standard bare copper designs.

Q: Is SR-086-SP compatible with UT-086 cable?

A: Yes. SR-086-SP follows the 0.086 inch semi-rigid cable standard, making it suitable as an alternative to UT-086 in many RF cable assemblies and microwave applications.

Q: Why use a silver plated outer conductor in RF cables?

A: Silver plating improves surface conductivity, which is important at high frequencies due to the skin effect, helping reduce signal loss and improve overall RF performance.

Q: What impedance does SR-086-SP cable provide?

A: The cable is designed with a 50 ohm characteristic impedance, which is standard for most RF and microwave systems.

Q: Can SR-086-SP be used for custom RF cable assemblies?

A: Yes. It is widely used for custom semi-rigid cable assemblies, including microwave jumpers, RF test cables, and coaxial interconnects.

Q: What connectors are compatible with this cable?

A: The cable can be terminated with connectors designed for 0.086 inch semi-rigid coax, including SMA, 2.92 mm, and other RF connector types depending on frequency requirements.

Q: Can the cable be bent during installation?

A: Yes. Semi-rigid cables can be formed into fixed shapes, allowing precise routing in compact RF and microwave assemblies.

Q: What applications benefit most from silver plated coaxial cables?

A: Applications operating at higher frequencies or requiring lower signal loss, such as microwave test systems and RF instrumentation, benefit from silver plated conductors.

Q: Is SR-086-SP compliant with environmental standards?

A: Yes. The cable is RoHS compliant and suitable for global applications.
