Is it always best to use a cable with the highest cut-off frequency?

Jul 9, 2017

There are two main factors to consider when selecting a cable.Cost: The higher the cut-off frequency the more expensive the cable. Cables with a higher cut-off frequency will have a smaller conductor diameter. These smaller the connector diameter the more challenging it is to manufacturer, which usually results in a higher cable cost.Loss: The smaller the connector geometry, the higher is the over...read more

In a typical microwave coaxial cable, the inner and outer conductors are separated by a polymer dielectric, and they all are encapsulated by a polymer jacket as shown in the Figure below.The speed of a signal traveling through a coaxial cable depends on the dielectric constant of the insulating material between the center conductor and the outer conductor. Thus, cable assemblies use poly-tetrafluo...read more
