New Addition to XtendedFlex™ Micro-Coaxial Cable Features Unrivaled Compactness and Flexibility in a Low Loss Construction for Precision Medical Devices and More
WALLINGFORD, CT — Times Microwave Systems, the preeminent brand in innovative RF and microwave interconnect assemblies, cables, and connectors, has announced the release of the XtendedFlex™ 045 (XF-045) Micro-Coaxial Cable, the newest addition to its XtendedFlex product family. The versatile XF-045 is an exceptionally compact cable that combines unparalleled flexibility with low attenuation, making it well-suited for applications that require a balance of optimal power delivery with thermal properties and limitations. The new micro-coaxial cable is ideal for medical devices used in minimally invasive procedures, including endoscopic devices, microwave ablation, and medical imaging. It can also be customized to meet additional industry standards for industrial and automotive sensors.
Designed with a low-loss construction, the XtendedFlex 045 minimizes thermal dissipation while maximizing signal integrity and power transfer efficiency. It features a unique PFA jacket that provides excellent biocompatibility and chemical resistance—with an estimated 60% reduction in wall thickness—offering ultimate flexibility in a cable that is robust enough to embed into high-pressure liquid cooling lines. The PFA jacket also has a broad operating temperature range of up to 260ºC. In addition, XtendedFlex 045 is constructed with a unique combination of materials, including a silver-plated copper center conductor, low-density PTFE dielectric, and silver-plated copper flat braid.
The micro-coaxial cable is ideal for single-use and re-usable sterilizable applications as a discrete signal power transfer line or integrated into a cable bundle for higher-density solutions. XtendedFlex 045 can also be combined into a hybrid cable assembly with multiple transmission lines, such as fiber optic and fluid lines, providing a single integrated cable solution for power, signal, and thermal management. Hybrid cable assemblies are available as cable bundles or single-ended or double-ended assemblies.
“Applications such as precision medical devices present unique equipment challenges, demanding specialized interconnect solutions that must be high-performance, safe, and reliable,” said Kai Loh, director of product management at Times Microwave Systems. “The XtendedFlex 045 is a game-changer, with a unique construction and customizable options offering extraordinary compactness and flexibility, low attenuation, and thermal dissipation.”
Thanks to Times Microwave Systems’ global footprint and extensive distribution network, the XF-045 micro-coaxial cable solution is now available with significantly shorter lead times than comparable products.
