Description
Semi-Rigid SMA Coaxial RF Cable 12 Inch Microwave Test Lead TX IN FROM PA
This is a semi-rigid SMA coaxial cable approximately 12 inches in length, terminated with gold-plated SMA connectors. The cable body is constructed of silver-colored semi-rigid tubing with a yellow identification sleeve, and it has been pre-formed into a bent routing shape. As noted in the original label, this cable was used as a transmit interconnect routed from a power amplifier ('TX IN FROM PA'). It has limited ability to be re-formed once bent. Price is per cable. The photos show multiple cables as an example of the type — the cable you receive will be comparable but may vary slightly in bend profile or label markings.

Applications
Semi-rigid coaxial cables with SMA connectors are a standard interconnect in RF and microwave systems, commonly used inside communications equipment, radio transmitters, base stations, radar systems, satellite ground equipment, and RF test setups. The SMA connector is a threaded, subminiature interface rated for use from DC through several GHz, making it widely used in microwave signal routing between modules such as power amplifiers, filters, mixers, and test ports. Semi-rigid construction — typically a solid or corrugated outer conductor — provides better shielding and phase stability than flexible coax, which is why it is preferred for internal chassis wiring in precision RF assemblies. These cables are often factory-formed to specific routing paths within equipment, as seen here with the pre-bent shape and the 'TX IN FROM PA' label identifying the cable's signal path within its original host system. They remain in common use today in both legacy equipment maintenance and new RF system assembly.
This semi-rigid SMA coaxial RF cable has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working RF or microwave system — the yellow label on the cable reads 'TX IN FROM PA,' indicating its prior routing function. The gold SMA connectors show normal wear consistent with prior installation and removal. The semi-rigid tubing retains its formed shape. Note that the photo shows multiple cables as an example of the type; the cable you receive will be comparable but may vary slightly in bend profile or label text. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
