Test & Measurement Cable Assemblies

Precision Connections for Reliable RF Measurements

SPINNER Test & Measurement Cable Assemblies are engineered for highly accurate and repeatable RF measurements—from laboratory and production testing to demanding high-frequency applications.

By combining precision RF connectors with carefully selected flexible or semi-rigid cables, our assemblies deliver outstanding electrical stability, low insertion loss and reliable impedance control. This ensures consistent measurement results wherever phase and amplitude stability are critical.

With configurations covering frequencies from DC up to 250 GHz, SPINNER offers cable assemblies that meet the requirements of both today’s measurement systems and tomorrow’s millimeter-wave applications.

Engineered for Precision

Reliable measurements start with reliable connections. Every SPINNER cable assembly is designed to minimize measurement uncertainty while maintaining outstanding long-term stability under real-world operating conditions.

Low insertion loss, precise impedance control and excellent phase stability ensure highly repeatable results, even after frequent mating cycles or under mechanical stress. Depending on your application, cable length, connector combination and cable type can be individually configured. Throughout the entire process, SPINNER’s engineering team supports you from selecting the optimal solution to the final configuration.

Applications

SPINNER Test & Measurement Cable Assemblies are used wherever measurement accuracy and long-term stability are essential. Typical applications include:

VNA measurements

RF and microwave testing

Laboratory setups

Production testing systems

Calibration and verification

R&D environments

High-frequency precision measurements

Precision RF Interfaces up to 250 GHz

SPINNER offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of precision RF interfaces for high-performance measurement applications.

Available connector types include 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.35 mm, 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, SMA, TNC and N, with standard and ruggedized versions available for many interface sizes.

Both intra-series and inter-series configurations can be supplied in male and female versions to meet specific application requirements. For 4.3-10, 7-16 and NEX10 interfaces, SPINNER offers dedicated jumper cable solutions for mobile communication applications.

Flexible or Semi-Rigid – Designed for Your Measurement Environment

Every measurement setup has different mechanical requirements. SPINNER therefore offers both flexible and semi-rigid cable assemblies.

Flexible assemblies are ideal for dynamic test environments where cables are frequently moved or rerouted. They combine excellent flexibility with low-loss performance, robust shielding and long service life under repeated bending.

Semi-rigid assemblies are the preferred solution for permanent, high-precision installations. Their rigid construction provides extremely low loss, outstanding shielding effectiveness and exceptional phase stability, making them ideal for fixed laboratory setups and calibration systems.

Individually Tested for Maximum Confidence

Every SPINNER Test & Measurement Cable Assembly undergoes comprehensive electrical testing before delivery and is supplied with its own measurement report.

This individual verification ensures complete traceability and guarantees that every assembly meets the specified electrical performance before it reaches your laboratory or production environment.

Solutions for Challenging Requirements

Certain applications require more than a standard cable assembly. For harsh operating environments, SPINNER offers armored cable assemblies with enhanced mechanical protection, improved durability and extended service life.

For multi-channel measurement systems, phase-matched cable pairs and sets are available. These assemblies are precisely matched and verified against reference standards to minimize phase deviations and improve overall system accuracy.

Ready for Tomorrow's Frequencies

As measurement technology continues to move into the millimeter-wave and sub-THz range, SPINNER provides cable assemblies supporting frequencies of up to 250 GHz. They are ideally suited for semiconductor characterization, advanced research projects and next-generation high-frequency measurement systems.

Customized to Your Requirements

Every application is different. SPINNER therefore offers customized cable assemblies tailored to your exact measurement setup.

Available options include custom cable lengths, flexible or semi-rigid designs, low-loss or phase-stable cable types, ruggedized connectors, intra- and inter-series connector combinations, as well as armored versions and phase-matched cable sets.
