3. Typical application scenarios are matched with cables
3.1 Consumer Electronics (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
Cable: RG-174
Reason: Cost sensitive, frequency ≤ 5GHz, short length (<0.3m) and controllable loss.
3.2 Test Instrument Jumper (Vector Network Analyzer)
Cable: RG-316 or low-loss foam cable (e.g. Times LMR-200)
Reason: It needs to be resistant to plugging and unplugging, low loss (high calibration accuracy requirements).
3.3 Vehicle radar/5G small cell station
Cable: PTFE insulated foam wire (e.g. Gore G-FLEX 150)
Reason: 6~24GHz low loss requirements, outer diameter ≤2mm for easy wiring.
3.4 Military equipment
Cable: RG-316 (Mi-Label MIL-DTL-17)
Reason: Resistant to extreme temperatures, vibration, and high shielding requirements.
4. Supplementary instructions
4.1 Outer diameter mismatch: MCX connectors usually support 1.0~3.0mm wire diameter, which needs to be customized beyond the range (such as micro wires require a dedicated MCX head).
4.2 High frequency loss: RG-174 has 2 times higher loss than foamed PE wire at 6GHz, and is avoided for long-distance transmission.
4.3 Phase stability: For phase-sensitive applications (phased arrays), prefer semi-rigid wires or phase-stabilized cables (such as Huber+Suhner S100).
4.4 Connector Grade: Gold-plated contacts MCX (non-nickel plated) are selected to ensure a > 500 plugging and unmating life.
