NTE Cable
Ultra-flexible, Low loss, phase-stable coaxial cable
NTE Cable Structure
1. Center Conductor
2. Dielectric
3. Inner Shield
4. Outer Shield
5. Jacket
NTE series is the lowest loss structure among the flexible cables, which uses international leading low loss and stable RF cable technical, 19 stranded conductor, low-density PTFE dielectric, silver-plated flat Helicoil. NTE series is widely used in repeated bending, ultra-flexible, high require of ultra loss and phased application.
