Cryogenic cable
For high-frequency signals, Lake Shore provides various coaxial cables: ultra-miniature coaxial cables and semi-rigid coaxial with a stainless steel center conductor. We also offer the robust CryoCableâ„¢. Cryogenic cable product overview...
Ultra-miniature coaxial cable — type SC and SS
- Very flexible
- Long flex life
- Available in two configurations:
- SC — stranded copper conductors
- SS — stranded 304 stainless steel conductors
Semi-rigid coaxial cable — type SR
- Easily bent, coiled, stripped, machined, soldered, or connected without impairing performance
- Solid center conductor provides the optimum geometrical surface for transmission
- Low standing wave ratio (SWR) with a dielectric controlled to exacting tolerances
- Low thermal conductivity (≈0.4 W/(m · K) at 4.2 K)
- Matching minimizes reflective power loss
- Provides shielding isolation for virtually no extraneous signal pickup
- Tubular outer conductor offers minimum size and maximum conductor integrity; stainless steel jacket can be soldered directly to circuit boards
- 37 AWG, silver-plated copper-weld steel center conductor
CryoCable™ — type CRYC
- Robust: the NbTi wire cores are strong and fatigue resistant, and the cable overbraid of 304 stainless steel adds significant strength and is crush resistant
- Low heat leak due to all-metal alloy and Teflon® construction
- Solderable: the CuNi wire surface is easy to solder with conventional rosin fluxes
- Cryo-compatible: all Teflon® (PFA) insulation is heat-strippable for ease of preparation
