Cable Low Pass Filter
RLC Electronics’ Cable Lowpass Filters are available in conformable (FCLPF Series) & semi-rigid cable styles (CLPF Series) that are built to your cutoff, rejection and mechanical specifications. Computer designed and advanced coaxial techniques ensure optimal performance in a minimum amount of space.

Pass Band VSWR: See table 2 Pass Band Insertion Loss: See table below Power Rating: 2 watts average Impedance: 50 ohms |
Connector Type: SMA Male Cable Diameter: .141, .086 Environment: MIL-E-5400, Class 1A except operating temperature range 55C to +85C |
To designate the filter desired use:
1: Cut-off frequency in MHz 2: Number of sections (N) |
3: Cable length (in inches accurate to .05 inches) 4: Cable diameter AC for .141, BC for .086. |
Example: CLPF-5000-5-6AC is a 5000 MHz cutoff, 5 section filter with a cable length of 6 inches, using a .141 diameter cable.
FCLPF-5000-5-6-BC is a 5000 MHz cutoff, 5 section filter with a cable length of 6 inches, using a conformable .086 diameter cable.

Passband Response
Calculation Notes: Passband Insertion Loss (Max) = (Filter Loss Constant x N) + Cable Loss *VSWR 12.4 GHz to 18 GHz for more than 8 sections to be 1.8 + (0.05 x (N-7)) **VSWR 18 GHz to 26 GHz for more than 8 sections to be 2.0 + (0.05 x (N-7)) |
