Reference configurations only; specifications and certifications require confirmation.
Selection reference. Published third-party figures below describe specific reference configurations; they are not Conmoly guaranteed values or certifications. Confirm the final construction and test requirements with engineering.
Frequency, connector and standard length are combined by assembly family; final insertion loss and VSWR must be based on the selected assembly part number.
