High Frequency Test Cables
We offer a lineup of high-frequency measurement cables with 2.4 mm connectors, which can be combined with other connectors including SMA connectors. Please refer to the product page for specifications.
TC-120 50GHz compatible, Low loss, High Frequency RF Test Cable
TC-120 is a high-end 50 GHz compatible, low-loss, high-phase stability, precision grade cable with triple-shielded, bend-resistant, and temperature-stable characteristics, ideal for network analysis and other measurement applications.
Connectors can be selected from 2.4mm type(plug, jack), 2.92mm K type(plug, jack), and SMA type(plug, jack).
Non-magnetic 1.85mm V type(plug and jack) is also available, but only up to 50 GHz. In addition to the standard type, an armored type with stainless steel tube reinforcement can be selected.

2.4mm Type RF Connector Features
High frequency
We have a lineup of products that can be used from DC to 50 GHz high frequency bandwidth. By changing the insulator from Teflon to air and increasing the outer diameter to 2.4 mm, the connectors can handle even higher frequencies than SMA connectors.
Compatibility
2.4mm connectors are compatible with 1.85mm V connectors; they are not compatible with SMA connectors, 3.5mm connectors, or 2.92mm K connectors and cannot be mated.
Tiny
The compact connector enables high-density mounting in a small space, not only for wiring in equipment, but also for connection between subassemblies that make up the equipment and between equipment.
2.4mm Type RF Connector Applications
Satellite onboard, military equipment, aviation onboard equipment, network analyzers, etc.

2.4mm Type RF Connector FAQ
Q
What is the difference to SMA connectors?
A
The 2.4mm connector has a 2.4mm outer diameter by changing the insulator from Teflon to air. This allows for an even higher waveguide mode cutoff frequency, achieving an operating frequency of DC to 50 GHz.
Similar in shape to SMA connector, 3.5mm connector, and 2.92mm K connector, but cannot be mated. 1.85mm V connector can be mated.
Q
Are there connectors with even higher frequency and smaller size?
A
An even higher frequency and smaller connector is the 1.85mm V connector that supports up to 67GHz. This connector is currently under development.
An even smaller connector in a lower frequency band is the SMP connector, which supports frequencies up to 40 GHz.
