Right-angled cables to RG402, 0.141 inch diameter semi-rigid coax, and has a solid PTFE dielectric resulting in 69.5 percent phase velocity. PE-086Flex is a flexible cable alternate to RG405, 0.086 inch diameter semi-rigid coax. The smooth wall formed by the braid over spiral ribbon design allows for a flexible cable with similar performance to a solid wall semi-rigid cable. The series has an operating temperature range of –40°C to +150°C, and stainless steel connectors that have a minimum lifespan of 500 mating cycles.

Pasternack has launched a series of flexible right-angle test cables. The series consists of 16 assemblies covering a frequency range from DC to 27GHz for the SMA versions, and DC to 18GHz for the type-N and TNC terminated cables. The cables have a low profile design and are rated up to 27GHz. The right-angle SMA and type-N connectors incorporate an internal radius design that optimizes performance in a low profile configuration. The cables are also available in 0.086 inch and 0.141 inch diameter double shielded, silver plated copper braid over silver plated copper tape, coax designs. The PE-141Flex is a flexible cable alternate
