MCX-SMB Coaxial Cable

The National Instruments MCX-SMB Coaxial Cable, with product codes 188376-01, 188376-2R23, and 188376-0R3, is a versatile Coaxial Cable. This cable features a 1-Pin Female SMB rear connection and a 1-Pin Male MCX front connection. Primarily used in the assembly of testing and measurement configurations, this cable is ideal for integrating RF signal generators and other RF interface devices. Length options include 0.3 m, 1 m, and 2.23 m. However, careful consideration is needed when selecting the length of your cable, as longer cables can unintentionally act as antennas and absorb additional noise. For the most effective use, this cable should be used within systems that maintain an impedance of approximately 50 ohms, as its own impedance is 50 ohms. This matching impedance can help to reduce signal reflection and improve maximum power transfer throughout your system.
