About the series
What it is
JXW-VA are precision test cable assemblies with an operating frequency up to 67 GHz, amplitude- and phase-stable under flexure and temperature. The armored cable construction, resistant to torsion and crushing, provides stable electrical performance and long service life.

Questions and answers
How do I order a JXW-VA cable?
By the code JXWVAXX-XXXXXX-XXX: band (26, 40, 50 or 67 GHz), connectors at the ends (18M/18F — 1.85 mm, 24M/24F — 2.4 mm, 29M/29F — 2.92 mm, 35M/35F — 3.5 mm) and length.
How does JXW-VA differ from JXW-K?
Bandwidth and purpose: JXW-VA operates up to 67 GHz and is amplitude- and phase-stable for precision measurements, JXW-K — up to 26.5 GHz for everyday measurements.
What is the bend radius of the cable?
Minimum 25 mm at a diameter of 5–6 mm.
