5. Product Features

• Space-Saving Right-Angle Design The 90-degree MCX connector minimizes the cable's footprint, preventing strain and enabling tidy installation in tight enclosures, high-density racks, and portable devices.
• Superior Signal Integrity Precision 50 Ohm impedance matching, combined with the low-loss RG316 cable and gold-plated center contacts, minimizes signal degradation (VSWR and Insertion Loss), crucial for sensitive measurement and communication applications.
• Durable Construction for Reliability Features robust, nickel-plated brass connector bodies that withstand repeated mating cycles. The secure snap-on MCX interface ensures a stable physical and electrical connection, resisting vibration and shock.
• High-Quality Shielded Cabling The RG316 cable utilizes a silver-plated copper conductor and a dense braid shield, offering excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) for a clearer signal.

Note: Please verify that your equipment utilizes MCX series connectors before ordering. This cable is not compatible with SMA, SMB, or other connector types.

7. Safety & Quality Assurance Information

Material Compliance & Manufacturing Standards

Our commitment to quality ensures a reliable and safe component for your business. We adhere to strict manufacturing protocols.

• RoHS Compliant: This product is manufactured using materials that comply with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, making it suitable for global distribution, including the European market.
• Quality Control: Each cable assembly undergoes a multi-point quality inspection process, including 100% continuity testing and a visual inspection for construction integrity, to ensure it meets our high performance standards.

Proper Handling:

To ensure maximum performance and lifespan, avoid bending the cable tighter than its specified minimum bend radius (approx. 13mm / 0.5 in). Ensure connectors are properly aligned before applying mating force.
