Junkosha Microwave/mmWave Coaxial Cable Assembly

0 Series – MWX0A5, MWX009: Junkosha's Highest Performance Coaxial Cable Portfolio

[MWX0A5: 0.5 mm up to 250 GHz]
As the industry’s first test cable assembly capable of stable signal transmission up to 250 GHz, the new 0.5 mm connector cable “MWX0A5” features a robust 0.5 mm Ruggedized female connector and is designed for high-frequency measurement environments that require precision, stability, and reliability. Developed in collaboration with Keysight Technologies, it is an ideal solution for applications such as semiconductor devices in AI-related chip characterization and sub-THz research, supporting transmission from DC to 250 GHz. Its low insertion loss—achieved through a custom dielectric layer—and excellent return loss maintain signal quality even at the upper limits of the frequency band.
A 0.5 mm–1.0 mm adapter will be available for compatibility with common DUT interfaces.

[MWX009: 0.5 mm up to 190 GHz / 0.8 mm up to 167 GHz]
The MWX009 has been developed to support advanced probe system measurements using 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm connector interfaces, enabling operation up to 190 GHz and 167 GHz respectively. MWX009 delivers low insertion loss and excellent return loss performance, enabled by Junkosha’s custom PTFE dielectric layer technology, which provides superior signal integrity at extremely high frequencies. It also features a secure safety-lock connector for improved connection stability. Designed for sub-THz communication research and next-generation high-frequency development, the new MWX009 cable will support engineers to extend measurement capabilities up to 167 GHz.
