SUCOFLEX® 500

Short delivery time

Outstanding performance

Excellent price-performance ratio

When it comes to test and measurement, the SUCOFLEX 500 assemblies guarantee the highest
level of satisfaction. Thanks to their unique cable and connector design, they deliver the bestphase and amplitude stability versus flexure, movement, temperature and tensile stress, in
combination with outstanding return and insertion loss up to 70 GHz.
Due to the rotary swaged low-loss inner conductor and the rugged construction, SUCOFLEX 500
assemblies typically withstand more than 100,000 flexures without degradation of performanceand therefore have a very long life-time.
HUBER+SUHNER supplies all SUCOFLEX 500 standard length products within five working days andcustomised lengths are available within ten working days worldwide.

32071 high power
cable assemblies

The 32071 cable assembly offers incredible benefits to not only withstand extreme temperatureand high altitude conditions, but also provide outstanding performance at high power levels.
Based on its Fluoroloy® loaded connectors we can guarantee up to 500 W CW power at 150 °C
under vacuum.
In addition, HUBER+SUHNER provides a comprehensive array of Fluoroloy® loaded panel connectors and feed-throughs for high power applications. Fluoroloy® has a higher dielectric constant(as compared to standard Teflon dielectric), but also a higher rate of thermal conductivity. This
provides a more effective and efficient transfer of the heat generated at the center conductor,
thus increasing the power handling capability of the connector. Fluoroloy® dielectric is available
as an option on all of our connector types, should the power levels of the application require it.

Eacon – easy connector termination

Mounting kit
A step-by-step assembly instruction together with acomplete tool set reassures a simple and quick assembly procedure.

Cable preparation/stripping
The Eacon cable is prepared/stripped with a pre-aligned tool. Within 3 turns the cable is cut and ready.

Connector positioning
The cable entry is pushed onto the cable and positioned right at the end of the jacket.

Folding back the braid
Folding back the braid reassures a good retention
force and a high shielding effectiveness.

Cleaning and checking
Any foreign object debris (FOD) should be avoided on
the prepared cable reassuring the specified returnand insertion loss values are met.

Final assembly
The selected interface is mounted onto the preparedcable entry and tightened with a torque wrench. This
ensures a high retention force and ingress protection
up to IP68.

Assembly instruction video
All step-by-step instructions and the
instruction video can be found on our
website.

High flex cables

High flex cable assemblies have repeatedly endured 1 000 000 flexure cycles with minimal electricaland mechanical degradation. All incorporate a flat wire outer conductor and a microporous
dielectric for low loss and a tight woven stainless steel outer braid for improved resistance tocrushing, bending and kinking. All cables were designed for use in ultra-durable, high flexureapplications such as gimbaled radars, antennas and installations where the cable assemblymust endure multiple tight bends.

Main benefits• Excellent flex properties• Low resistance to movement• High-shielding effectiveness

Waiver: While the information presented has been carefully compiled to the best of our present
knowledge, it is not recommended to design-in such a product before checking with our specialists.
High flex applications are very unique and driven by extreme mechanical requirements. Therefore,
our specialists will support you in choosing the correct parameters to make your application a
success from the beginning. Please contact our local sales organization for further information on
our products.

LSFH cables

The need for low smoke free of halogen cables and cable assemblies is driven by an increasingawareness of the industry to prevent toxic fume ingestion in the event of a fire. Especially inapplications where space is limited or a fast evacuation is impossible, low smoke free of halogen
cables are a must.
HUBER+SUHNER offers a broad range of cables. Our RADOX® and LSFH materials meet truly
challenging flammability and smoke density requirements.
• RADOX® – increased temperature range, resistance against oil, chemicals and UV• Ultra low loss
• Good flexibility, low bending moment• Extended frequency range up to 46 GHz

Board-to-board connectors

Lower costDirect board-to-board connections with compensating misalignment (axial float ± 1.2 mm) not
only save costs compared to cable connections but also allow larger tolerances on all othercomponents.
Miniaturization
HUBER+SUHNER board-to-board connectors provide the smallest board-to-board distance(6.7 mm) in class. This enables smaller designs with less weight and provide much more space on
the PCB.
Reliable connection
Due to the unique fully automated production process and 100 % interface control highest quality

89Design guide
Working range (axial and radial) – mated board connector
In mated condition, the two connecting parts have to be aligned within the dimension given for the axial andradial working range. Unlike the MMBX interface, the tilt of the adapter can be limited with the MBX. The great
advantage of this feature is that there now is a constant working range with different adapter lengths and thus
the same standard funnel for the connecting parts can be used.
Connecting range – unmated board connector
The two connecting parts need to be aligned within the connecting range when mating. In order to guarantee ablind mateable connection, the tilted adapter will be guided by the funnel of the opposite connector. The
connecting range therefore depends on the adapter and the pull-in range (size of the funnel).
Example based on MBX
Connecting range

Working range

Recommendation
HUBER+SUHNER recommends using guiding pins to align the boards within the connecting range and working
range as well as distance holders to maintain the axial misalignment within the working range.
HUBER+SUHNER provides an outline drawing for every application with the relevant mechanical dimensions thatneed to be considered when designing-in our board-to-board solutions. 3D step files are available on

Self-locking connectors
The HUBER+SUHNER self-locking solution is a simple and easy to use connector that eliminates the need for lockwire/safety
wire that can lead to potential FOD in an aircraft. The anti-rotation microwave connector maintains the required
torque to ensure the connector interface remains fully engaged throughout the operational profile that the aircraft may experience.
Our solution features a lock-collar mechanism that once engaged prevents rotation of the coupling nut. This
design results in time savings during the initial cable assembly installation by eliminating lockwires and theassociated equipment necessary to install it. The size and weight of these connector assemblies are similar withstandard connectors and maintains full function in harsh and/or high vibration environments.

QMA/QMA-W50
HUBER+SUHNER QMA coaxial connectors comply with the QLF standard and are available with 50 Ω impedance.
The QMA connectors are return loss optimized for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The interface is based on the SMA
dimension, but instead of a threaded coupling mechanism, a new snap-lock mechanism is used. The QMA interface has very similar performance to the SMA, but it offers an easier, faster and safer coupling operation, whichhelps customers save significant time during production or installation. QMA connectors are also available in awaterproof version (IP68) and are compatible with the QLF standard.
• Easy to mate, 10 times faster than with threaded SMA• Increased reliability, waterproof IP68 (QMA-W50)• No torque or tooling required• 360° rotatable interface• Easy routing of cable assembly without mechanical stress or electricalperformance degradation• Higher packing density• Size equivalent to SMA, but space saving (no torque wrench required)• Excellent electrical performance• Consistent VSWR performance enables easily replacement

XQMA (QMA eXtreme, waterproof IP68)
In addition to the outstanding qualities of the quick lock connector QMA, thisadvanced version has some extra advantages such as protection from corrosion
in a salty atmosphere and from freezing in the event of high humidity and low
temperature.

QN
HUBER+SUHNER QN coaxial connectors are available with 50 Ω impedance. The frequency range extends to
11 GHz, depending on the connector and cable type, however most of the QN connectors are return loss optimized for frequencies up to 6 GHz. The interface is based on the inner dimensions of the N connector but insteadof a threaded coupling mechanism a snap-lock mechanism is used. The QN interface has a very similar performance to N, but in addition it offers an easier, faster and safe coupling operation, which helps customers savesignificant time during production or installation of their systems.
• Cycle time improvement for making RF connections(10 times faster to mount than threaded connectors)• No torque or tooling required• Higher packaging density• Free-rotating connection when mated (cable torsion relief)• Eliminates loosening problems associated with threaded connectors• Same performance as N
• Best intermodulation

XQN (QN eXtreme, waterproof IP68)
Besides the outstanding qualities of the quick lock connector QN, this advanced
version has some extra advantages such as protection from corrosion in a salty
atmosphere and from freezing in case of high humidity and low temperature.

LEMP protectors are the foundation of our current EMP protector portfolio and have madeHUBER+SUHNER a first stop for protection solutions in defense applications. HUBER+SUHNER offers
protection components for landbased, airborne and naval tactical communications as well as fornavigation, radar and electronic warfare applications.
Our products are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the defense and security
markets. An extensive high-voltage impulse laboratory is available to verify our designs inaccordance with the valid lightning, surge and HEMP standards.
HUBER+SUHNER holds groundbreaking patents in the field of coaxial lightning and HEMP
protection, such as the automatically suppressing surge arrestor (Semper).
Many of our products are referenced by the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA).

110Threat scenario in defense
applications
The threat mechanisms by which high level energy
surges are generated can be separated into thetwo groups of natural occurrences and man-madeenergy surges. The natural phenomenon of lightning(LEMP) has been extensively investigated. Cloud-earthor earth-cloud flashes with currents up to 400 kA are
generated as soon as the electrical field strength
exceeds 100 kV/m. Good lightning protectors shallbe capable of handling large currents without being
degraded.
The frequency content of lightning goes up to ≈ 1 MHz .
Man-made surges can be unintentional when they
originate from high power switching of electricengines or intentional when they are created by
specific weapons, radar equipment or high power
communication transmitters. The three categories
of intentional created surges are:
• The HEMP or high altitude electromagnetic pulse. Itsinterference mechanism derives from Gamma
radiation generated during a nuclear explosion athigh altitude. This radiation displaces electrons fromthe molecules in the upper atmosphere (Compton
Effect) which causes the high level HEMP/ NEMP
(nuclear EMP) pulse. Such high altitude nuclear
explosion can affect a huge area, several hundredsof kilometers in diameter, on the earth. HEMP/NEMP

protectors shall be capable of diverting fast pulses(ns rise times) on a path with minimal inductanceto ground. The HEMP pulse has significant spectral
components up to ≈ 300 MHz .
• The HPM/UWB pulse. Meanwhile several non-nuclear
mechanisms have been developed that produce
even faster effects than the HEMP. The technique ofusing fast pulse generators that receive their energy
either from conventional TNT explosions or fromlarge capacitors (Marx generator) built into bombs(E bombs) or missiles is well known. The frequency
content of Ultra wideband pulses (UWB) ranges from500 MHz to 5 GHz. High power microwave sources(HPM) generate narrow band signals extending from
1 to 10 GHz. Protectors against HPM and UWB signals
must be capable to react within pico-seconds.
• Radar pulse streams and other transmitters withhigh continuous or pulsed power are a threat for any
sensitive RF receivers on board of vessels andairplanes. Classic examples are jets landing on an
aircraft carrier or signal exploitation hardware on
warships. Protection components which limit thereceived signals to a non-hazardous level aredemanded in this scenario.

Lightning protection –product overview
Gas discharge tube protectors with exchangeable GDTs
Series 3401/3402 (standard versions)
For applications with RF and DC components on the antenna line the standard
GDT lightning/ EMP protectors feature DC continuity and large bandwidth. Most
HUBER+SUHNER GDT protector designs provide excellent performance in the
NEMP application as well. For specific applications internally DC-blocked GDTprotectors are available.

Self-extinguishing GDT protectors (Semper)
The HUBER+SUHNER Semper design guarantees safe extinguishing of the GDTunder high RF power or with additional DC components on the antenna line.
By retrofitting standard GDTs with the Semper GDT existing installations can be
upgraded. The Semper technology is a true improvement to the standard gas
tube technology and increases reliability and lifetime of GDT protectors.

True broadband GDT protectors
Series 3404/3406
SlimLine GDT protectors feature high return loss in the frequency band between
DC and 6 GHz. This design is best suited for point to point and WLAN equipment.

Hybrid/low PIM/high power GDT protectors
Series 3409
This patented technology features low passive intermodulation at extremely
high continuous and peak instantaneous power (up to 25 kW PIP).

Bias-T/DC injectors with integrated lightning protector
Series 3410
Bias-T‘s, used to „feed-in“ or „pick-off“ DC voltage into or from antenna feeder
cables, provide the operating voltage for active electronics installed on themast (mast head amplifiers, etc.)

Hybrid GDT fine protectors
Series 3403
For very sensitive DC powered receivers such as those used in GPS installations,the hybrid GDT fine protectors with integrated transient voltage suppressor
diodes guarantee lowest residual pulse energy. HUBER+SUHNER fine protectors
feature DC continuity.

112

Quarter-wave shorting stub protectors
Series 3400
HUBER+SUHNER quarter-wave shorting stub protectors perform best lightning
parameters with excellent RF specifications within limited bandwidth. A ratio of
4:1 between lowest and highest frequency of the frequency band is achievableby still meeting high return loss. For specific applications internally DC-blocked
quarter-wave shorting stub protectors are also available.

Filter protectors
Series 3407
LC or LCL band pass filter technologies allow an increase in bandwidth to ratios
larger than 4:1 in a compact mechanical design, hence they are an alternative
to quarter-wave shorting stub protectors. LC or LCL filter protectors are internally DC-blocked.

Data line protectors
Series 3414 (twisted pair, ethernet)
Our CAT 5 and CAT6 (Gigabit )data line protectors are „Power Over Ethernet“
compatible and available as IP68 rated robust components for outdoor applications (i.e. backhaul microwave links) or in IP20 specified housings for indoor
installations (i.e. data processing centers)..

Semper – self-extinguishing gas discharge tube protector
The patented Semper™ concept enhances the safety and reliability of the well-known gas discharge tube (GDT) protector principle
impressively. It eliminates the risk of gas discharge tube "hold on" dueto DC line powering or high RF signals which will render the system
inoperable and can destroy the GDT. The Semper™ invention is basedon a mechanical resettable thermo-switch which is integrated within
the GDT protectors capsule holder.

The NATO Stock Number (NSN) is a 13 digit number and is divided into 3 parts:• The first part (4 digits): is the NATO Supply Classification Code and relates the item to the group and class ofsimilar items: e.g. 5920: 59 for Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components and 5920 Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers and Protectors.
• The middle part (2 digits): indicates the NCB assigning the NSN:
country code: e.g. 00/01 for US, 12 for Germany, 13 for Belgium, 14 for France, 15 for Italy, 17 for Netherlands, 23 for
Greece, 33 for Spain, 66 for Australia, 99 for UK• The final part (7 digits): of the NSN does not have inherent significance. However, the number is assigned to one
and to only one Item of supply within the codifying country.

Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (WDM)
HUBER+SUHNER has specialized on optical wavelength division multiplexing. We offer all types of optical muxes,
ranging from simple Wideband WDM over Coarse WDM to Dense WDM. To be able to combine the different WDM
grids and/or cascade several muxes we have provide the matching WDM bandsplitters. There is no grid that we
do not serve, so of course we as well offer the muxes that power high-speed multi-lambda transceivers and weare happy to customize our muxes to your specific grids applied in your sensing application.

CWDM COLOR cubes
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) is an excellent choice forincreasing bandwidth capacity while keeping costs down. The COLOR cube
family, based on standard Thin Film Filter (TFF) technology with a proprietary
packaging, offers you smallest component dimensions combined with an
outstanding performance and reliability.

Bandsplitter COLOR-Cubes
HUBER+SUHNER provides a great variety of hi-isolation bandsplitters, basedon Thin Film Filters (TFF): Simple Wideband WDMs which create two channels
at 1310 and 1550 nm, each with a bandwidth up to 100 nm. Or different CWDM
bandsplitters for CWDM upgrades and extensions from e.g. 4 channels to
8 channels. Here, an important characteristic is the number of skipped(not-useable) channels, reaching from 0 to 2 channels.

DWDM COLOR cubes
While we use our patented packaging and assembly technology for thewider WDM grids, we as well rely on classical cascading of 3-ports assembled
into modules for the narrow DWDM grids. We can supply any combinations
and channel amounts, ranging from 400 to 50 GHz, please, contact us forfurther configurations.

Technology

Polatis‘ highly reliable piezoelectric Directlight® beam-steering technology sets the industry standard for lowest
optical loss and highest performance. With more than a billion port-hours accumulated on deployed units, thePolatis technology platform delivers a broad range of class-leading all-optical matrix switch products into
demanding applications.
At the core of Polatis optical switches is our patented DirectLight beam-steering technology that makes
connections using compact piezoelectric actuators to align collimated beams of light from opposing arraysof input and output fibers with minimal loss, distortion or interference between paths. Alignment is maintainedusing feedback from integrated position sensors to ensure connection stability over time, temperature andexternal disturbances. Switching occurs completely independently of the power level, color or direction of lighton the path, enabling pre-provisioning of dark fiber and avoiding concatenation of switching delays acrossmesh or multi-stage switched optical networks. Polatis optical switches are fully non-blocking and available insizes from 4 × 4 to 384 × 384.

Key features• DirectLight® free-space optical switch technology connects fibers with the best possible optical performance• Lowest loss all-optical cross-connect – typical 1 dB IL• Excellent connection repeatability and stability• Modular platform scales from 4 × 4 thru 384 × 384 and beyond• Dual-sided (M × N) and single-sided (M-fibre) variants• True transparent dark-fibre switch connections are independent of protocol, bitrate, light colour, direction or
power level• Robust against shock, vibration, thermal environments• Optical power monitoring enables variable attenuation and M:N optical layer mesh protection switching140

Applications
RF-over-Fiber
Distribution of RF signals over fiber has been established since themid 1980’s for cable TV, government and defence related applications.
The well-documented benefits of distributing RF signals throughoptical fibers rather than coaxial copper cable include greatly
reduced electromagnetic interference and susceptibility, smaller
and less expensive cables with lower attenuation, better RF link noise
performance and longer cable runs.
HUBER+SUHNER Polatis all-optical switches have found significant
applications in RF distribution systems for flexible provisioning andprotection of fiber links and terminal equipment. Performancedifferentiators of the Polatis optical switch technology include
ultra-low optical loss, typically below 1 dB; modulation-free dark fiberconnectivity, low crosstalk and polarization dependence, high signal
security and low optical back reflection.
HUBER+SUHNER Polatis’ switches enable government agencies touse optical fiber to eliminate copper coaxial cabling, copper based
patch panels, and large footprint RF switches to distribute RF signals
within buildings, satellite ground terminals, mobile command shelters,land, sea and airborne platforms and test ranges. Using fiber optics
for RF distribution allows systems to support secure communications
across Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) boundaries.

Data center and cyber security
Traditional fiber optic distribution systems rely on manual intervention to provision connections. Automation of the fiber infrastructure
to create a software-defined optical network eliminates the delay,
error and uncertainty of manual provisioning and removes a potential weak link in the information security structure. Using the Polatis
dynamic fiber cross-connects, government agencies can reduce
service provisioning and upgrade timescales and manual service
intervention requirements by up to 90 %.
The Polatis optical switch can be seamlessly integrated with software-defined network management and orchestration agents, allowing
commissioning, change, or upgrade of optical resources with justa few mouse clicks. Automated provisioning not only reduces thepotential for human error, it also eliminates the handling of fibers
and connectors, significantly increasing the life of the fiber plant andimproving system return on investment.

142

Applications
Remote software-defined test access
Unlike many traditional optical solutions, a HUBER+SUHNER Polatis
optical switch enables seamless, centralized test equipment integration. Using Polatis enables agencies to leverage expensive test
equipment across their optical infrastructure to:• Reconfigure and partition system connectivity on demand
between multiple users• Improve network reliability and availability through more rapid
fault isolation and remediation• Coordinate fault location with an up-to-date database to ensurethat the right network resources are rapidly repaired• Perform maintenance and service restoration on a fiber-by-fiber
basis, without impact to other fibers or services
Furthermore, the high performance of the Polatis optical switch
ensures that test data is accurate, reliable and repeatable.
HUBER+SUHNER Polatis’ ability to incorporate real-time tests into thefabric of the optical network improves not only the reliability of thecommunications infrastructure; it also drives down operational costs
through „onestop“ system testing. And, by improving fault isolation
and remediation, on-site maintenance requirements (and their costs)
are drastically reduced.

GPS-over-Fiber (GPSoF)
Our GPSoF modules are focused on distributing a single GPS signal
into multiple receiver systems. This approach ensures that signal
data, such as time synchronization into separate, yet connected,
systems is always the same. Standard GPSoF systems include both
single and multiport solutions; and accommodate both L1 and L2
bands.
In addition to the GPSoF modules, HUBER+SUHNER also provides aTime and Frequency Standard (TFS) module. This module uses 1PPS toensure that time synchronization is still possible in the event of a lossof GPS signal. The pulse is synchronized to the average of the GPS
signal. The module also provides a 10 MHz electrical output, which
is used for reference signaling. The small form factor of the GPSoF
modules ensures that the systems are ideal for both fixed and mobile
applications, where space may be limited.

LAN-over-FiberWith the use of multimedia continuing to increase within theoperations landscape (from planning to de-briefing), our modules
are focused on providing Gigabit connectivity within challenging
environments.
Again, the use of HUBER+SUHNER’s RADOX and Q-ODC-12 components
ensure that the exposed portions of the system remain functional
within harsh environments, while the interconnect within a mobile
structure (shelter or vehicle) remains robust and functional within
environments exposed to, for example, intense vibration.
The standard LANoF modules are available in 1, 6 and 12 ports andcan be easily integrated into existing network infrastructures. The
LANoF system is particularly well suited to applications that require„field LAN“ capabilities for data synchronization, diagnostics, remote
identification and software distribution.

Key application: Shelters(Makes use of RFoF, GPSoF and LANoF)
Shelter connectivity perfectly illustrates the benefits of an RF-over-Fiber system. Highly mobile and deployed inharsh environments, connectivity as well as the safety of the control center are key elements of RF-over-Fiberwithin an antenna remoting system.
The use of FO cables, within a traditional RF system, makes it possible to position the shelters far away from theantennas, while ensuring that the links between the antennas and the shelter remain secure.
The use of FO cables also supports the mobility of the application by reducing the cable footprint as well as
light-weighting the solution. This dramatically simplifies and speeds up the installation and maintenance of thesystem. The use of HUBER+SUHNER’s RADOX® technology ensures superior performance in harsh environments.
Immunity to EMI, EMP and RFI provide the important finishing touches to this high performing and secure systemsolution.
In addition to the RF-over-Fiber solution, HUBER+SUHNER offers any additional connectivity requirements withina shelter. Our antennas, lightning protectors and military qualified cable assemblies are well-known and widelyused in defense applications worldwide.

GPS-over-Fiber enables a single GPS signal to be distributed into multiple receiver systems. The small form factor
adds significant value within the vehicle with both the conversion modules and FO cable designed to use as little
space as possible, while eliminating all forms of (EM and RF) interference.
LAN-over-Fiber facilitates vehicle identification as well as data and software synchronization for vehicles thatare deployed in the field. This new „field LAN“ capability, based on a ruggedized gigabit FO network is changing
the way that media and data is being shared in operations.

In SATCOM applications, RF-over-Fiber enables communication between satellites and control centers. The communication link is created by connecting the antenna to the control center. RF-over-Fiber supports both fixedearth installations as well as mobile applications.
Broad frequency ranges, excellent performance and security are critical aspects that are perfectly addressedby HUBER+SUHNER’s RF-over-Fiber products. With single modules that cover the all intermediate frequency (IF)signals as well as the L, S and C bands, HUBER+SUHNER not only meets the frequency range requirements in
SATCOM, but also has low noise modules in its portfolio that can be used in noise-sensitive applications. The low
noise modules offer a 50 % lower noise figure, from 15 dB to 7 dB (IF signals).

155

Key application: Aircraft(Makes use of RFoF)
The integration of RF-over-Fiber solutions within airframe applications is growing rapidly. High density RF connectivity and lightweighting are key elements that are optimally addressed by RF-over-Fiber. Often requiring
dozens of RF connections between various sensors, antennas and systems, the HUBER+SUHNER RF-over-Fiberproducts provide flexibility by ensuring that the solution is easily scalable.
For example, the use of five 12 port modules easily covers the requirement of 50 RF connections; and providing
reserve capacity for future connectivity increases. The use of five modules means that only five cables are required to cover the entire connectivity demand. This not only significantly decreases the overall cable footprint, butallows for meaningful weight reduction within the aircraft.
The light-weighting of the connectivity solution while retaining optimal performance, allows for the weight tobe used elsewhere else in the aircraft or for the total weight of the aircraft to be reduced. The reduction of theweight of the aircraft offers better fuel efficiency, which can either save costs or provides the capability to extend the time and range of a mission.

Key benefits• Scalability 		• Better performance• Efficient 		
• Lightweight 		• Security 		• Ruggedized
