TRU Corporation offers an extensive line of flexible RF cable assembly and
connector solutions for applications that require RF high power/voltage
capability as well as reliable, high quality performance. Our long heritage in
high power design has made us a premier supplier in high power markets
including critical safety applications in the industrial equipment segment.
Specifying the optimal assembly for your application is simplified by the
broad selection of straight and right angle connector configurations and
interface options, as well as the extensive range of cable choices. Our cables
are specifically designed for their power capability and reliability. Our unique
TRUtie™ cable termination method provides superior mechanical retention
capabilities to eliminate the cable junction as a point of mechanical failure.

Specifying High Power RF Cable Assemblies
Instructions
To simplify the process of specifying an RF high power cable assembly, follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Please refer to the cable assembly below, which illustrates the various elements to specify.
Prior to selecting a cable and connectors please refer to the cable/connector selection matrix charts
to determine available combinations.
Additional reference data has been provided to facilitate the proper selection of components for your application
including frequency range and power handling. Ensure that the lower rating of either the connector interface
or coaxial cable will support the overall power specification for the assembly. It is important to note that several
factors such as temperature and altitude will potentially de-rate the overall power handling capability.
Specify each connectorinterface and
the configuration.(straight or right angle)
Specify coaxial cable required.
Reference coaxial cable chartfor attribute data.
Specify the length of the assembly.
Assemblies are generally measuredfrom end to end for straight
connectors, or from the centerlineof right angle connectors, as shown.
Specify any relevantmechanical/electricalor environmentalspecifications.
Identify any special markingrequirements and their location.
Standard marking isTRU part number and date code.
