NTC Cable Brief Description

Low-Cost Semi-Flexible Coaxial Cable

NTC series cable provides an economical conformable cable replacement for applications requiring greater flexibility and bending cycles. NTC series cable matches Times TFlex cable’s performance and uses the same solder-on connectors as standard semi-rigid cable. This cable consists of a silver-plated copper center conductor, solid PTFE dielectric, silver-plated copper tape outer conductor, silver-plated copper braid shield, and a UV and corrosion-resistant blue FEP outer jacket. Typical applications for NTC series cables are test setups, interconnection, and instrumentation, and so on. It is available for fast delivery, and OEM is also welcome. There is no minimum order quantity requirement.
