SA SERIES CABLES (SEMI-RIGID ALUMINUM)
- Meets all MIL-C-17 requirements
- Standard configuration is tin-plated aluminum outer conductor with silver- plated copper clad steel center conductor
- Available in 0.086” or 0.141” diameter
- Great for prototyping, easily hand formable
- Can be reformed when using a large radius
- Lightweight, 40% weight reduction when compared to copper
- Slight degraded electrical performance when compared with copper due to aluminum's conductive properties
