Part Number Information: GORE® Microwave / RF Assemblies
Part numbers consist of 12 alphanumeric characters. The grouping of these characters has a specific meaning. The part number includes cable type, connector types, and assembly length.
- Characters 1 and 2 designate cable type.
- Characters 3-5 define connector “A” and Characters 6-8 define connector “B”.
- Characters 9-11 define the assembly length in inches.* Character 12 is used to further define lengths which are not whole-inch increments. If the length is a whole-inch increment, Character 12 should be zero. Even foot increments are standard; for example, the standard lenghth closest to 3 meters is 10 feet (120.0 inches)
*PLEASE NOTE: Gore's VNA Microwave Test Assemblies are available in three lengths: 25 inches, 38 inches, and 48 inches.
If other lengths are required, consider GORE® PHASEFLEX® Microwave / RF Test Assemblies as an alternative.
