L00FSA-174TPR-20 is a RG174 flexible (TPR jacket) 20 foot 50 ohm (6.1 meter) coax cable assembly with a L00 (Lemo 00 compatible) female connector on one end and a SMA connector on the other end.

Circular Connector Details Circular connectors, also called "push-pull" or "quick connect/disconnect", are commonly used in non-destructive testing (NDT), physics, and aerospace, on transducers, flaw detectors, and other applications. This style of connector was pioneered several decades ago by the Swiss connector manufacturer LEMO. Because of this history, practitioners in the industries that use this connector style still tend to call this a "LEMO connector", even though there are now multiple manufacturers making compatible connectors. "LEMO" is a registered trademark of LEMO USA. We source our connectors from multiple vendors. The connector we provide to you may be made by LEMO, or may be a compatible model from an aftermarket manufacturer. If you have a preference, please feel free to contact us for a quote. Our circular connectors come in two different sizes. The L00 connectors have a diameter of roughly 0.25", and are often used in physics and engineering applications for interconnection between NIM/CAMAC modules. If you are looking for the larger 0.5" diameter connector, those are over here.

About 50 ohm cable assemblies

This cable has a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) jacket (also known as thermoplastic elastomer or TPE). This material is softer and more flexible than a standard PVC cable jacket, even at low temperatures. TPR is resistant to petroleum oils, many chemicals, ozone, and other environmental contamination sources. TPR-jacketed cables weather well and are abrasion-resistant. They are not cut-resistant or built to withstand longitudinal tension, so should not be buried or used in umbilical tether applications without additional protection.

You've likely seen TPR before -- it's the high-friction, rubbery material used as the jacket for many test bench leads and patch cables. The flexibility makes TPR-jacketed cables popular for use with handheld sensors and probes; we see them used a lot with ultrasonic contact transducers and eddy current probes. The flexibility and small bend radius of these cables makes them ideal for use with microphones, DF antennas, and other handheld or wearable devices, in robotic or mechatronic remote control and telemetry, automated or CNC machines, and precision motion control. Popular outdoor uses include flightline, oil rig, pipeline inspection, arctic, and other extreme environment applications where flexibility at low temperature is important.

We hi-pot test our cable assemblies for high-voltage breakdown between core and braid. See About Hi-Pot Testing for why this might matter to you, particularly for physics or NDT applications. Caution: We make no claims as to the safety of this product for high-voltage use. These voltages can kill. Do not handle or approach any cable or conductor carrying high voltage; this includes insulated cables, nearby metal parts, water, and other conductive materials. Engineering and design for safety in your application are your responsibility.
