TRUE BLUE L OW LOS SC AB LE AS S EM B LI ESThe Answer: An unmatched combinationof low loss, durability, and value.The Question: What does Storm’s TrueBlue line of cable assemblies provide?For more than 30 years, our True Blue assemblies have been the winning choiceof design, test, and production engineers for:F E A TU R E SB E NE F I TS Compression resistant lowloss, low density dielectric Low insertion loss andexcellent amplitude stability Less prone to damage duringhandling and installation Quadraform shielding Military and aerospacedesign-in applications Laminate construction provideslow signal leakage General purpose test applications Production testingWith a design based entirely onhigh-performance materials, theTrue Blue line covers frequencies fromDC to 50 GHz.Assemblies are available in both customconfigurations and a variety ofstandard lengths and connectorcombinations. Longer cable assembly life dueto greater connector retention Highly reliable solderedconnections Longer cable assembly life dueto greater connector retention Low insertion loss and excellentamplitude stability Various standard connectoroptions and a number ofready-to-ship standardassemblies Reduced lead time forconfigured assemblies Cost-effective, same-dayshipment options forstandard configurationsThe basic True Blue cable is designedto be durable. However, for applicationsrequiring added durability, assembliesare also available ruggedized,armored, and soft armored.High value microwave andelectronic interconnect solutionswww.teledynestorm.com
