PE7024-6

Overview

The Pasternack PE7024-6 is a coaxial cable assembly featuring SMA male to SMA male connectors. It utilizes RG178 dielectric material and operates within a frequency range of DC to 3 GHz. The assembly has a length of 6 inches (15.24 cm) and employs a silver-plated copper center conductor with a PTFE dielectric. Characteristic impedance is 50 Ohms, with a maximum VSWR of 1.35:1 and insertion loss not exceeding 0.3 dB at peak frequency.

Feature Summary

• SMA male to SMA male connector configuration for standard RF interconnects
• RG178 flexible cable construction suitable for compact routing
• Silver-plated copper center conductor for enhanced conductivity

Applications

• RF signal transmission in test and measurement equipment
• Interconnection of wireless communication modules
• Prototype development for microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and cable type against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns with the application's signal bandwidth. Ensure physical dimensions fit within the designated enclosure space. Check environmental specifications if exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity is anticipated.

Selection Notes

Choose this assembly when short-length flexibility is required alongside standard SMA interfaces. Consider the RG178 construction for applications needing moderate bending radius without compromising signal integrity. Evaluate insertion loss constraints to ensure signal attenuation remains within acceptable limits for the specific link budget.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack coaxial cable assembly family, designed for reliable RF connectivity. It serves as a direct replacement for generic SMA-to-SMA jumpers where precise length and low-loss performance are critical. The product supports integration into various electronic systems requiring standardized RF connections.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other SMA male-to-male assemblies with similar electrical specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 50 Ohm impedance and frequency range. Ensure connector compatibility with existing mating hardware to prevent mechanical interference.
