SRC316® RG316 Mil-C-17 Replacement Coax Cable Assemblies

low loss flexible test cable
					 assembly

We developed SRC316 coax cable to replace standard RG316 RG174 and RG188 cable assemblies with many added benefits. It provides 90dB to 110dB shielding versus 40dB, is 20% lower loss and SRC316 is about twice as flexible as most RG replacement cables. This enables a minimum inside bend radius for dense or space constrained runs, with excellent shielding and good durability in tactical applications. The special dielectric is heat treated to give optimal performance while at the same time providing good power handling capability. Best of all, you can have better performance at a price that's much less than you'd expect.

SRC316TS® Triple Shield Microwave Coax to 18GHz

In fact, SRC's 316 and SRC316TS have become 'ask for it by name' products in a variety of microwave antenna, microwave communications, test equipment, radar and tactical applications when superior electrical performance and reliability are paramount. Our 316TS is very popular because it offers up to 18 GHz performance, an advanced 'cross-linked' dielectric and shielding above 110dB in an affordable flexible coax cable assembly suitable for your standard high volume products or for short run, quick-turn custom assemblies and test gear.

Depending upon the frequency of your application, SRC316 and SRC316TS may be assembled with MCX, MMCX, SMA, SMB, SMC, SSMA, SSMB, SSMC, TNC, N, 3.5mm, GPO (SMP), GPPO (SSMP), 2.9mm (K), 2.4mm and 1.85mm (V) connectors. If you need reverse polarity, a hard to find high performance connector, armor or special markings-just ask, we're glad to do it for you. Use our quick quote form and give us the opportunity to show you how this affordable RG316 replacement coax suits your needs. If you have questions or need assistance, give us a call and we'll be glad to help with tight schedules, small lot-sizes or high-volume orders.
