TestLine

RF Components for

Production Testing / Laboratory Measurement / Field Measurement

Telegärtner has composed a comprehensive product programme

for various measuring and test jobs under the name of “TestLine”.

High quality RF test cables which meet the highest demands re-

garding attenuation, phase stability and life endurance are an es-

sential part of this product line.

Thanks to their special cable connection technology and the use of

very high quality RF cables for low, stable VSWR values, the test

cables from the “TestLine” programme are ideally suitable for

measurements in the laboratory, for production tests or for ﬁeld

measurements. All the test cables have very effective cable protec-

tion against mechanical loads and at the same time meet the

highest requirements for electrical transmission properties. Ano-

ther special feature is the stainless steel connector bodies and

coupling nuts which ensure high mating cycles.

All this makes the “TestLine” assemblies absolutely reliable, pha-

se-stable and long lasting test cables for RF measurements.

TestLine - RF Components for Measuring and Testing

TestLine Components

The new TestLine RF cable was specially designed for

measuring processes with constantly changing test ob-

jects and the resulting high mating cycles. The high-end

test cable has excellent transmission properties for high-

ly demanding applications in measuring laboratories and

production tests.

TestLine Cables

Telegärtner has a range of high quality TestLine termina-

tion loads of the 7-16, N, TNC, BNC, SMA, and R-SMA

series. The termination loads are used for testing high

frequency transmitters and ampliﬁers or in open trans-

mitter ports.

Termination Loads

The Telegärtner TestLine attenuators are used for redu-

cing the power of RF signals. A precise signal attenuation

of 3, 6, 10 or 20 dB, depending on the type, is effected

here up to a frequency of 6 GHz. The attenuators are

used for test and measuring applications where the RF

power is to be set to certain values.

Attenuators

Telegärtner offers a wide range of TestLine inter-series

adaptors. All adaptors have very good RF properties.

Connector Savers are used to protect the test port of

high quality measuring instruments. The Telegärtner

Connector Savers are screwed onto the original port

which, as a result, does not wear despite frequent use.

The Connector Saver can be changed quickly and inex-

pensively when required.

TestLine Cables

The pre-assembled RF cables of the TestLine series were

designed especially for inspection and testing purposes

with high requirements with regard to attenuation, pha-

se stability and life endurance. The specially developed

connectors have a special cable connecting technology

for low, stable VSWR values and a highly effective cable

protection against mechanical strains. In addition, the

connector bodies and nuts are made of stainless steel to

ensure a very high number of mating cycles. The TestLine

cables are therefore also excellently suitable for use in

production where a large number of reliable measure-

ments need to be performed.

Product Features of TestLine Cables

Characteristics of TestLine Cables

Stability

The special structure of the

RF cable with a foamed PTFE

dielectric guarantees excellent

phase stability and return loss

stability when the cable is

subjected to bending stress.

High mating cycles

with constantly good trans-

mission properties thanks to

gold-plated inner conductors

and a stainless steel plug

body and coupling nut.

Excellent electrical

parameters

for frequencies up to 18 GHz

(SMA) or 11 GHz (N) at low

return loss (-23 dB at 18 GHz).

The maximum cable attenua-

tion is only 1.0 dB/m at

18 GHz.

Precision connectors

The TestLine cables are

assembled with plugs deve-

loped especially for test and

inspection requirements.

Special Version: TestLine Cables with Impact Protection

A special version of the TestLine cable from Telegärtner

offers very strong protection against external loads. The

cable protection consists of a steel wire coil with an ex-

tremely high pressure load capacity up to 80 kg/5 cm

cable

length. This virtually rules out damage to the cable by

kinking or crushing.

The use of the cable protection is recommended especially

in production, for ﬁeld measurements and also in the la-

boratory where mechanical stress on the cable cannot be

ruled out.

Product Features:

Cable Protection

TestLine cables can be ﬁtted

with an optional spring tube.

The stainless steel spring tube

protects the cable against

extreme mechanical loads.

Impact-Proof

Pressure loads up to

80 kg/5 cm cable length.

Excellent protection against

kinking of the cable.

Termination Loads

Termination loads are connected to an open signal out-

put or a RF cable to avoid reﬂections. They are available

with a impedance 50 Ω. The power of the termination

loads ranges between 1 W and 625 W, at maximum

frequencies of up to 18 GHz. The termination loads are

used, for example, in open ports of RF transmission sy-

stems as well as for calibration of RF measuring instru-

ments.

Attenuators

The Telegärtner attenuators are used for reducing the

power of RF signals. A precise signal attenuation of 3,

6, 10 or 20 dB, depending on the type, is effected here

up to a frequency of 6 GHz. The attenuators are used for

testing and measuring as well as in antenna cables (e.g.

mobile radios, WLAN) in which the transmitted power is

to be set to certain values.

Inter-Series Adaptors

Connector Saver

Telegärtner offers you a wide range of high quality Test-

Line adaptors. The TestLine adaptors are specially desi-

gned for a large number of plugging cycles and have

excellent high frequency properties.

Connector Savers are used to protect the test port of high

quality measuring instruments. Changing plugs in mea-

suring instruments is expensive and time-consuming. To

avoid this, the Telegärtner Connector Savers are screwed

onto the original port which, as a result, does not wear

despite frequent use. The Connector Saver can be chan-

ged quickly and inexpensively when required.
