This configuration offers 0.047 and 0.085-inch diameter hand formable semi-rigid cables with gold plated, precision machine brass body, a gold-plated beryllium copper contact and PTFE insulator.

The test probe assembles with the SMA jack interface can perform at a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz and work with RF module test applications. These RF modules can be found in Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as smart lighting, smart metering and other smart cities devices.
