Cable line expands Storm's comprehensive test & measurement product portfolio.
Woodridge, IL – May 11th, 2021 –
Teledyne Storm
Microwave announces a new cable product line for Vector Network Analyzer (VNA)
test leads and other interconnect testing, Storm-Test™, designed to extend a test
lead's useful life while delivering phase stability, critical in precision manufacturing
environments where measurement accuracy must be maintained with repeated use over
months and years.
The Storm-Test series of test leads expands Storm's comprehensive portfolio of
cable solutions for test and measurement applications, which includes Accu-Test®,
Duratest™, and True Blue®. The new Storm-Test 50 GHz expands the frequency and phase
stability performance offered by Storm test cables.
"Our testing showed that the new Storm-Test cables lasted significantly longer
in real manufacturing test environments than competing products," said Richard Bahou,
Director Sales & Marketing for Teledyne Storm Microwave. "This allows customers
to maintain phase stable measurement accuracy while replacing test cables much less
frequently, saving money and time."
The Storm-Test 50 GHz series offers two new differentiating features in the VNA
test lead market that increase a test lead’s useful life. First, the new cable bend
protection solution optimizes product life while delivering mechanical robustness.
Secondly, durability is optimized via the braided FEP jacket which aids abrasion
resistance, preventing fraying of the outer jacket. It is designed specifically
for demanding applications in test, radar, military and aerospace, and offers an
operating temperature range of -55 to +125°C.
An additional benefit of the new cables is their superior resistance to crushing
and torque, dramatically demonstrated in a new product video showing a passenger
car being driven over an example cable, and the assembly performing flawlessly in
subsequent measurements.
The Storm-Test products offer a variety of phase matching and customization options
and are available for immediate ordering and delivery.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
