Stable Cable SiO2 Extreme Environment Cables from Meggitt Safety Systems - smart engineering for extreme environments

Assembly calculator

The calculator below can be used to estimate the maximum insertion loss (dB loss) of Meggitt's SiO2 cable assemblies. Actual values may vary somewhat from the calculated numbers based on manufacturing tolerances, cable length, connectors, operating frequency, and measurement accuracy. Please contact Meggitt Safety Systems, Inc. for guaranteed Insertion Loss numbers.

The Excel spreadsheet. provides the best and most accurate information regarding cable assembly performance. Please click on the words Excel spreadsheet. to access this option.

Alternatively, a simplified on-line loss calculator is provided below for those who do not have a spreadsheet capability

IMPORTANT NOTE: The on-line calculator requires Microsoft IE 5 or newer to properly function. Other browsers may not work.
