MegaPhase VN Series VNA Test Port Extension Cables are engineered for demanding RF and microwave test environments where measurement accuracy, phase stability, and long-term durability are critical. Available in configurations supporting frequencies through 67 GHz, these high-performance cable assemblies provide mechanically stable, precision performance for vector network analyzer (VNA) testing, calibration, and production measurement applications.

Designed with an internal armor reinforcement, VN Series cables maintain exceptional electrical stability during flexure, helping engineers achieve repeatable measurements while minimizing test uncertainty. Whether used in laboratory characterization, automated test systems, or high-frequency production environments, VN Series cables deliver reliable performance over thousands of test cycles. Custom lengths and phase-matched sets are available.

Engineering Advantages

Why Engineers Choose the VN Series

Phase-Stable

Exceptional Phase Stability

Accurate VNA measurements depend on stable cable performance. VN Series cables are designed to minimize changes in phase, insertion loss, and VSWR during flexure, helping maintain calibration integrity and reducing measurement drift.

Repeatable

Repeatable Measurements Over Time

Mechanical movement is one of the leading causes of measurement variation in RF test systems. The VN Series is specifically engineered to deliver highly repeatable electrical performance, allowing engineers to trust their data and reduce retesting.

−60°/+120°COperating Range

Rugged Design for Demanding Test Environments

Internally armored construction and reinforced cable ends provide superior durability compared to conventional test cables. The result is a longer service life and lower total cost of ownership in both laboratory and production environments.

Custom Lengths

Customizable for Your Test Setup

Available in custom lengths, phase-matched configurations, and a wide range of precision connector interfaces, VN Series cables can be tailored to meet the requirements of virtually any RF measurement system.
