- Extra-Flexible may be used where a more flexible application would prove beneficial.
- MTES = Extra-Flexible / Twistable
- MCES = Extra-Flexible / Non-Twistable
- Electrical: V.S.W.R. specifications shown are full band (frequency range). Lower values are attainable over narrower bandwidths.
- Finish: Flexible waveguide is silver-plated per QQ-S-365.
- Jacket: Flexible waveguide assemblies include a protective molded Neoprene rubber coating to the exterior of the waveguide. An optional polysulfide brush-on jacket may be supplied on all sizes.
EXAMPLE: Part No. MTES42-500-N-12B
