Specifying High Power RF Cable Assemblies
Instructions
To simplify the process of specifying an RF high power cable assembly, follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Please refer to the cable assembly below, which illustrates the various elements to specify.
Prior to selecting a cable and connectors please refer to the cable/connector selection matrix charts
to determine available combinations.
Additional reference data has been provided to facilitate the proper selection of components for your application
including frequency range and power handling. Ensure that the lower rating of either the connector interface
or coaxial cable will support the overall power specification for the assembly. It is important to note that several
factors such as temperature and altitude will potentially de-rate the overall power handling capability.
Specify each connectorinterface and
the configuration.(straight or right angle)
Specify coaxial cable required.
Reference coaxial cable chartfor attribute data.
Specify the length of the assembly.
Assemblies are generally measuredfrom end to end for straight
connectors, or from the centerlineof right angle connectors, as shown.
Specify any relevantmechanical/electricalor environmentalspecifications.
Identify any special markingrequirements and their location.
Standard marking isTRU part number and date code.

TRU Corporation Quick-Connect/Disconnect RF interface provides reliable mating with fast connect/disconnect
capability. These interfaces feature a positive locking mechanism employing a spring-loaded sleeve on the male
plug that is drawn back to let self-contained bearings “click” into grooves on the mating female receptacle, and
slide forward. A fully mated and safe condition is visually represented with full coverage of our TRU-Redline™
indicator. These designs provide exceptionally fast and reliable hand mating that will not vibrate loose.
