FC242 is a flexible coaxial cable designed for microwave applications up to 18 GHz, featuring a 50Ω nominal impedance, 80% velocity of propagation, and a time delay of 1.27 ns/ft. It has a maximum VSWR of 1.40:1 above 8 GHz for non-precision or angle connectors, and attenuates 0.38 dB/ft at 18 GHz. The cable uses a solid SPC center conductor, PTFE dielectric, and strip-wound oxygen-free copper outer conductor, with a minimum internal bend radius of 1.0 inch and an operating temperature range of -60°C to +175°C. It weighs 0.088 lbs per foot and provides at least -90 dBc shielding effectiveness. Dielectric withstand voltage is 5.0 kV at 60 Hz. Optional jacketing includes polyolefin, neoprene, or FEP, with maximum outer diameters of 0.375", 0.410", and 0.360" respectively.
