Low Temperature Cable
Product Introduction
Low Temperature Cable Features
For high frequency signals, Avantgarde offers a variety of coaxial cables: ultra-compact coaxial cables and semi-rigid coaxial cables with stainless steel center conductors. We also offer the rugged CryoCable™.
Subminiature Coaxial Cables - Type SC and Type SS
Subminiature coaxial cables are used when a robust and flexible cable is required. When low conductor resistance is a priority, Type SC is recommended, and Type SC and Type SS are mechanically flexible due to their braided construction. Type SS is recommended when shielding and low heat loss are both important. See technical specifications for SS, SC, and SR types.
Features
Very flexible
Long bending life
Two configurations are available:
SC - stranded copper conductors
SS - 304 stainless steel stranded wire
Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cable - Type SR
Features
Easily bent, coiled, stripped, machined, soldered or joined without compromising performance
Solid center conductor provides a good geometric surface for transmission
Low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) with dielectrics controlled within tight tolerances
Low thermal conductivity (approximately 0.4 W/(m-K) at 4.2 K)9
Matched to minimize reflected power loss
Provides shielded isolation with little or no extraneous signal pickup
Tubular outer conductor provides small size and large conductor integrity; stainless steel jacket can be soldered directly to the board
37 AWG, silver-plated brazed steel center conductor
CryoCable™ - Type CRYC
CryoCable™ is a ruggedized 4-wire cable suitable for cryogenic environments to room temperature. The cable is designed around a 32 AWG (203 µm) diameter superconducting wire and consists of an NbTi core (128 µm diameter) with a Cu-10% Ni jacket.
Features
Rugged: The NbTi core is strong and fatigue-resistant, and the 304 stainless steel cable outer braid adds significant strength and compression resistance.
Low heat leakage due to all-metal alloy and Teflon® construction
Solderable: Copper-nickel wire surface is easily soldered with traditional rosin fluxes
Low-temperature compatible: all Teflon® (PFA) insulation is heat strippable for easy preparation
