An armored protective covering
constructed of a flexible stainless steel armor that is
installed over the entire length of the cable jacket and
locked in place from connector to connector. This prevents
damage to the cable from being stepped on or run over by
light equipment and prevents cable kinking throughout the
assembly. Also adds 20-30 dB of shielding effectiveness.

PVC extruded over the entire length of the cable jacket
to provide additional protection from UV, moisture and
other elements encountered in outdoor applications.
All connectors when mated are assured to be water tight
using our “Weather Proof Sealing” Technique (Option - Z)
not relying on traditional heat shrink booting.

The Extended Boot protects the cable
from kinking at the cable-to-connector termination. This
method uses layers of different lengths of shrink tubing.
This will distribute the force applied to the cable-to-
connector termination over a 3-5 inch (7-13 cm) length
of cable, depending on cable diameter. This method of
additional strain relief is available on all flexible cable
assemblies manufactured by Smiths Interconnect.

The electrical length of coaxial
assemblies are often required to be an exact length.
The electrical length is determined by the electrical
properties of the cable and its mechanical length. Smiths
Interconnect offers phase matching for Lab-Flex and other
types of cable. There are several types of phase matching
and tolerances, offered by Smiths Interconnect. The most
common are listed below.
Typical Applications:
•
Production and Lab Testing
•
Environmental Testing
•
Phase-array
Group* -
Phase matched in sets - All of the cable
assemblies are matched to each other.
Absolute** -
Phase matched to an electrical length.
As with a mechanical standard, this electrical
length measured in degrees or time is
determined by the customer or provided upon
delivery bySmiths Interconnect.
Pairs** -
Phase matched in pairs - Selected from large
groups of phase matched assemblies.
Standard** -
Phase matched to a standard - All of the
cables are matched to a standard. This
standard may have been established from
a previous lot or provided by the customer.
Offset** -
Phased offset matching - One or more
assemblies are provided with defined phase
offset as compared to other assemblies.

Smiths Interconnect has been
RoHS (European Directive for Reduction of Hazardous
Substances) compliant since April 2005. RoHS compliance
requires restriction of the use of Lead (Pb), Mercury
(Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-VI),
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated
Diphenylethers (PBDE) per European Union Directive
2011/65/EU. As the RoHS compliance mandate went
into effect in July 2006, Smiths Interconnect would like to
confirm that RoHS compliant parts are available across the
entire product portfolio.
Smiths Interconnect’ RoHS compliant products allow for
both tin/lead and lead free solder attachment methods.
Where solder is required for assembly of final product,
RoHS compliant solders will be used. Products are
qualified RoHS compliant in accordance with IPC and
JEDEC industry standards. Qualification tests have been
performed in accordance with our ISO 9001 certification.
This certification signifies that parts meet an internally
acceptable set of quality standards. All products that
ship as RoHS compliant will be labeled as such on the
packaging.
