Selection Guide
Raychem Cheminax RF Coaxial Cables and RF Connectors (English)

Cheminax coaxial cables were designed to solve interconnect problems in electronic systems, such as computers, military equipment, and other areas of high-density packaging, where cables are required to perform to more exacting specifications than standard radio-grade (RG) constructions. Options include coaxial cable constructions that are smaller and lighter, have improved electrical performance, are more flexible, have better fluid resistance, and extended temperature range, over RG constructions. Our RF connectors are specifically designed with matched impedance, and correctly sized to fit the Cheminax coaxial cables referenced in this guide. We offer fully tested complete assemblies using the coax cables and RF connectors from this selection guide.

Cheminax Electrical Performance

Designed to Solve Interconnect Problems

The general and electrical performance of our Cheminax coaxial cables are designed to solve interconnect problems in electronic system, including computers, military equipment, and other areas of high-density packing, where cables are required to perfom more exacting specifications. TE's Raychem advanced materials technology allows us to design and develop Cheminax miniature coaxial cables that offer substantial savings in size and weight while improving mechanical performance and reducing attenuation.

Cables can be designed that are either smaller and lighter than standard RG and UR cables or provide significantly lower attenuation and capacitance with no significant increase in sizeBelow are the key characteristics. Note: Temperature rating varies depending on materials used in specific construction.

  • Conductor range 12 AWG to 30 AWG
  • Operating temperature range* -65°C to 200°C [-85°Fto 392°F]
  • Impedance range 50 ohms to 125 ohms
  • Dielectric constant 1.65–2.3
  • Velocity of propagation 67%–80%
