DynaFlex® series cable assemblies employinnovative designs and material technol-ogy to deliver optimized electrical andmechanical performance across a widerange of RF & microwave applications.DynaFlex® assemblies utilize our DynaCore® dielectric technology to provide enhanced mechanical resistanceto crush and kinking while delivering lowloss and phase stable electrical perform-ance. DynaCore® is the industry’s mostcompression-resistant PTFE dielectric that protects against damage related to difficult routing, cable clamping and field installation.
DynaFlex® assemblies are designed withrobust, double-walled strain relief shrink
tubing at the connector-cable junction and hightemperature jacketing to ensure reliable, long servicelife. DynaFlex® assemblies are available with standardconnector options for rapid availability and ease ofordering. Custom connector and jacketing optionsare available for specific application requirements.
