Low Profile RF Cable Assemblies

SV Microwave just released a new line of Low Profile RF cable assemblies that incorporate a unique ferrule design that protects the cable from overbending while still maintaining a shorter distance from the front of the coupling nut to the back of the cable bend than standard offerings. The ferrule radius prevents overbending of the cable which can potentially cause defects that can lead to expensive reworks.
