go to Cable Assemblies
INTRODUCTION: To ensure accurate testing and optimum system performance, the cable assemblies of test stations are always calibrated with the system. One certain cable set will be used, fitted with certain connectors.
It happens then eventually, that a component would need to be included into the test, showing a different connector configuration. Adding a between-series adapter might be an alternative, but would change the electrical length of the setup. Consequence is then usually to change to different test cables, employing the connectors needed, and calibrating the system again. Or it occurs that a certain test result is doubted, as it is too bad, or too good. Recalibrating the system and retesting is usually the only alternative.

THE SOLUTION: The answer is the Cable Assembly using Interchangeable Connectors. A Primary Connector Unit is fitted to the cable, accepting those Interchangeable Connector Series. As the Interchangeable Connector Heads have similar electrical performance and are of same electrical length, they can be changed during testing. If the performance of a Connector Head is questionable, it can be exchanged in no time, and the test results can be compared. A cable assembly can be supplied with the Primary Connector Unit, on one, or both ends. In no time the Interchangeable Connectors can be put on, as needed for the application. Basic Connector Units have been developed for the Phase Stable ANA Test Cables of Types 18 and 22, and as well as for a variety of other Test Cables Spectrum Elektrotechnik GmbH is offering, such as the cables of Types 10, 14 17, 100 and 140.
The Interchangeable Connector Heads are available in most popular connector series, such as 7mm, N, SMA and TNC. All these connector heads of the different connector series are of the same electrical length (except the short Nf).

THE CABLE ASSEMBLY KIT: Normally the Cable assembly with Interchangeable Connectors is supplied in an instrument case, as a Standard Kit, or the Professional Kit. It contains also a number of Interchangeable Connectors and a torque wrench. Additional empty spots can be filled with connector heads on separate order, as needed in the individual application.

CUSTOM PRODUCTS: Spectrum Elektrotechnik GmbH is a very innovative company. Our engineers are constantly designing new products, or modifying existing products to customers' requests. Therefore catalogs never will be complete. If you do not find exactly what you need in our catalogs, please contact our sales or engineering department.
