Cable Prep and Termination Order
The shield braid is captured by crimping the outer ferrule over the cable jacket; the brass body is gold-plated, which keeps corrosion off the mating interface and maintains low contact resistance across repeated connect-disconnect cycles. The Snap-On fastening means the plug clicks onto a mating MMCX jack and releases with a straight pull — no threads to turn, which speeds up field swaps but means the joint relies on the cable clamp for strain relief.
Temperature Range and Dielectric
The dielectric is PTFE, so the phase stability with temperature is predictable — relevant if this plug sits in a timing-critical signal path.
