Superconducting Coaxial Cable Assemblies
(0.085" / 0.047" / 0.034" type NbTi-NbTi Superconducting Coaxial Cables)

Model No. UPJ07
FEATURE
👉Note: This page has been merged into link here!

Superconduction coxial cable for cryogenic and strong electromagnetic field,
recognized by research institutions all over the world.
Highly effective at thermal gradient below 4K.

* Very low thermal conductivity; 1/3000 of copper(Cu), 1/300 of niobium(Nb).
* Highly durable in strong electromagnetic field of up to 11T(tesla).
* NbTi(Nb:50%)=3×10-4 [W/cm]
* 40GHz standard, available up to 65GHz
* Minimum bend radius: 30mm
* For strong magnetic field
Copper inner-coated Stainless coaxial cables are effective and useful for a temperature range of between room temperature and 4k.
