National Instruments CP36-MCX18 Cable

The CP36-MCX18 from National Instruments is a high-performance cable connectivity solution fabricated for applications needing a very accurate and reliable signal transfer. In detail, this connector cable features 36-position coaxial pogo pins interfacing with 18 MCX connectors, assuring high-density and tight connections for varied applications. With the CP36-MCX18, the balance between performance requirements and resistance against mechanical stress was done under severe conditions. Therefore, the CP36-MCX18 fits industrial and radio frequency signal applications.

The MCX connectors integrated into the CP36-MCX18 Cable are RF coaxial connectors that operate across a frequency range from DC to 6 GHz. They have a Snap-On as a coupling mechanism for easy and secure connections. The MCX connectors, according to the product specification, meet the requirements laid down by IEC 61169-36 and CECC 22220, hence assuring suitability for their intended applications and very good performance characteristics. Their impedance options of both 50 and 75 Ohms are combined with leakage up to 1 GHz with RF greater than 70 dB, thus ensuring signal integrity in high-frequency applications. Further, these connectors include a dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000 Volts and a PTFE dielectric material for consistent performance in varied environments.

The CP36-MCX18 Cable is suited for applications where compact and lightweight components are required. Being 30% smaller compared to the SMB connectors, MCX connectors make them the best choice for space-limited designs that do not compromise their workability. Therefore, the cable can be efficiently deployed in telecommunications, GPS systems, automotive electronics, handheld devices, and data telemetry. It has a very sturdy construction to ensure dependability and supports upwards of 500 mating cycles with an operational temperature from -65 °C to+165 °C.

With the RoHS compliance, CP36-MCX18 Cable offers very stringent environmental safety from hazardous substances. Therefore, with these added features on top of compliance, this becomes a reliable and sustainable choice for engineers and system designers.
