StormFlex™ 047EW Features
​
​Featu​res
 ​Benefits
Solid PTFE dielectric High compression r​​esistance and greater durability ​
​Ultra-high strength outer braid  Eliminates cable breakage associated with repeated bending and handling
​Optimized for use in E and W bands ​
E-band connectivity using 1.35mm connectors and W-band connectivity using 1.00mm connectors
​Interconnect Configurations Eliminates the need for waveguides in applications such as robotics, autonomous driving and bio-sensing.
Rear boot for connector In test lab applications, boot protects against behind-the-connector cable damage
​Optional armor ​​Allows all configurations to be used as VNA test leads or in harsher environments ​
