PE7092-5

Overview

The Pasternack PE7092-5 is a coaxial cable assembly featuring SMA male to SMA male connectors. It utilizes semi-rigid RG405 dielectric material with a silver-plated copper outer conductor and a solid copper inner conductor. The assembly operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz, maintaining a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. Key electrical specifications include a maximum VSWR of 1.3:1 and an insertion loss of 0.6 dB at 10 GHz. The unit provides a shielding effectiveness of 90 dB and supports a maximum operating voltage of 500VDC.

Feature Summary

• Constructs a robust interconnect using semi-rigid RG405 cable for stable phase performance.
• Employs precision SMA connectors designed for reliable signal transmission in high-frequency environments.
• Features silver-plated conductors to enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Wireless communication base stations
• Aerospace and defense radar systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and cable length requirements against the project schematic. Confirm that the operating environment temperature falls within the specified range for RG405 materials. Ensure mating connectors match the SMA interface standard to prevent mechanical damage. Check for any custom labeling or packaging needs prior to finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when rigid phase stability and low loss are critical over flexible alternatives. Consider the fixed length of five feet as a constraint for routing space. Evaluate if the semi-rigid construction allows for the required bending radius in the installation layout. Compare insertion loss values against system budget requirements at the highest operating frequency.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack RF coaxial cable assembly family. It serves as a point-to-point link between equipment ports. The design prioritizes electrical consistency over mechanical flexibility. Similar models in the series may vary by connector type, cable gauge, or overall length.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the SMA male-to-male configuration and 50 Ohm impedance. Verify that alternative assemblies maintain comparable VSWR and insertion loss specs. Ensure the replacement cable diameter fits within existing panel cutouts or strain relief mechanisms.
