2.92 (K) to 2.92 (K)

The 2.92mm designation refers to the inner diameter of the outer conductor, which is exactly 2.92 mm. Another name - "K-connector" - refers to the K frequency band. The connector has the same mating face as SMA or 3.5 mm. The connector series, developed in the 80's, is primarily used for RF measurements. The frequency range extends beyond 40 GHz. To achieve better transmission properties, air is used as the dielectric, which differs from the standard SMA design. The connector is considered to be very robust and should withstand several thousand mating cycles without any negative effects on transmission properties. Normal RF cables are usually used up to 6 GHz. At higher frequencies, return loss has an increasing influence on signal transmission. In the TestLine series special precision cables with outstanding transmission properties are used for RF assemblies up to 40 GHz. The dielectric made of extruded PTFE guarantees lower insertion loss. Special shielding gives the cable excellent screen effectiveness and return loss values, while still allowing flexibility and mechanical stability.
