TRUflex™ PWR Series
High Power
RF Cable Assemblies
• Broad range of connector
and cable combinations
• kW power handling capabilities
• Quick Connect/Disconnect
interface technology
• Test and adapter solutions available
• Experience in high power design
and safety innovations
TRU Corporation offers an extensive line of flexible RF cable assembly and
connector solutions for applications that require RF high power/voltage
capability as well as reliable, high quality performance. Our long heritage in
high power design has made us a premier supplier in high power markets
including critical safety applications in the industrial equipment segment.
Specifying the optimal assembly for your application is simplified by the
broad selection of straight and right angle connector configurations and
interface options, as well as the extensive range of cable choices. Our cables
are specifically designed for their power capability and reliability. Our unique
TRUtie™ cable termination method provides superior mechanical retention
capabilities to eliminate the cable junction as a point of mechanical failure.
Our innovative Quick Connect/Disconnect interfaces: TRU-SQS®, TRU-QRM™
and TRU-QDS®, provide highly efficient and repeatable high power solutions
without the need for added hand tools to securely mate.
In addition to the broad range of standard configurations in this brochure,
TRU can also provide custom design solutions for your challenging
applications. Our experienced Application Engineering team is available
to personally answer all your technical questions.

Specifying High Power RF Cable Assemblies
Coaxial Cable Reference Chart
To simplify the process of specifying an RF high power cable assembly, follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Please refer to the cable assembly below, which illustrates the various elements to specify.
Cable Diameter (inches-nominal)
Prior to selecting a cable and connectors please refer to the cable/connector selection matrix charts
to determine available combinations.
Cable Part Number
Additional reference data has been provided to facilitate the proper selection of components for your application
including frequency range and power handling. Ensure that the lower rating of either the connector interface
or coaxial cable will support the overall power specification for the assembly. It is important to note that several
factors such as temperature and altitude will potentially de-rate the overall power handling capability.

Quick Connect/Disconnect Connector Configurations
Threaded and Flange Mount Connector Configurations
TRU Corporation Quick-Connect/Disconnect RF interface provides reliable mating with fast connect/disconnect
capability. These interfaces feature a positive locking mechanism employing a spring-loaded sleeve on the male
plug that is drawn back to let self-contained bearings “click” into grooves on the mating female receptacle, and
slide forward. A fully mated and safe condition is visually represented with full coverage of our TRU-Redline™
indicator. These designs provide exceptionally fast and reliable hand mating that will not vibrate loose.
TRU offers a broad range of standard high power cable connector designs and configurations to provide
the maximum flexibility for your design. In addition to those shown below, TRU can provide custom designs
and features per your specification. TRU also offers a broad range of panel mount receptacles with
high power/voltage capability and application specific launch geometries.
