S40501 is a 50 ohm coaxial cable designed for aerospace and defense applications, featuring dual shielding with an inner silver-plated copper flat spiral braid and an outer silver-plated copper braid. It has a 24 AWG solid silver-plated copper-clad steel conductor, PTFE dielectric, and extruded FEP blue jacket. The cable measures 0.104 inches (2.64 mm) in outer diameter and operates from -55 to +200°C. It achieves 70% velocity of propagation, 29.4 pF/ft capacitance, and 24.2 ohms/1000 ft DC resistance. Attenuation ranges from 12.1 dB/100 ft at 0.4 GHz to 45.7 dB/100 ft at 5.0 GHz. It meets SAE AS4373E Skydrol resistance, FAR Part 25.869 flame/smoke requirements, DFARS 252.225-7014 compliance, and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
S40501 is a 50 Ohm coaxial cable and the industry’s workhorse, with decades of proven performance in the aerospace and defense markets. The S40501 coax cable features dual shielding, the inner spiral shield providing a close-conforming shield similar to that of a semi-rigid tubing. When compared to RG405, S40501 has comparable attenuation figures and a considerably higher temperature rating. Impedance is precisely controlled for low VSWR’s.
