RG304 High Power Coax Lightweight 12.4 GHz 50ohms Coax for High-Frequency Systems

M17/112-RG304 | 50Ω | 12.4 GHz | 140 g/m | 3000 VRMS | -55°C to +200°C

The RG304 is a lightweight 50Ω high-frequency coaxial cable that delivers true 12.4 GHz performance in a compact 7.11 mm, 140 g/m package. It combines a solid silver-plated copper conductor, extruded PTFE dielectric, double silver-plated copper braid, and a 200°C FEP jacket to provide low loss, stable impedance, and excellent shielding. It delivers true 12.4 GHz performance in a package that is significantly lighter than traditional high-frequency cables. Designed for weight-sensitive microwave systems, it is ideal for airborne radar, satellite communication terminals, and portable test equipment.
