Hi all,
Can anyone please help identify the type of coax the original kit SMA cables are using?
I like the convenience of how skinny and flexible these cables are. I hate thick, rigid cables, that make everything difficult, add bulk, and move instrumentation from wherever it is to their most convenient bend radius. I'd like to add some more SMA cables to my bench and not sure what to look for.
Thank you!
Radu.
You can buy ready-made SMA cables from Amazon and AliExpress (or similar).
For example:
There are PTFE variants:
Two things to watch out for:
- when using cables, calibrate with the cables in place for best accuracy.
- be sure not to buy "SMA-RP" cables. These have the male/female pins/socket
reversed. RP is reverse polarity:
Cheers,
David
