Application fit
GL Series Test Cable should be scoped around dynamic-flexure measurement repeatability, with voltage, power, interface, protection and acceptance requirements confirmed before quotation.
The GL Series test cables incorporate flat silver-plated tape shielding technology for phase and amplitude stability when the cable is flexed or moved.
For outdoor base-station and dynamic-flexure measurement workflows, the GL series offers multiple armor options including stainless steel and nylon to support crush and torque resistance while maintaining measurement repeatability.

Quote-stage checklist
Add the operating profile, safety boundary, control interface and acceptance evidence expected by the buyer before requesting final configuration and lead time.
Quote workflow
A useful RFQ is a short engineering model: operating envelope, DUT workflow, control boundary and acceptance evidence.
Send RFQStart with voltage, current, power, frequency, operating mode and site power limits before selecting a model.
Map the equipment to phase-stable RF measurement interconnects; outdoor base-station test setups; harsh-environment RF measurement and record any transient, cycling, compliance or automation needs.
Confirm control interfaces, protection requirements, data logging, remote operation and the FAT/SAT evidence needed by the buyer.
This product page summarises GL Series Test Cable within XGY Tek's RF Accessories catalogue. Review the published specifications and application notes to determine whether the product matches the intended workflow.
Start with the values highlighted on this page: Frequency: DC - 26.5 GHz; Technology: Flat Tape; Phase Stability: GL: 1 deg from DC to 10 GHz; 2 deg from 10 to 18 GHz; Shielding: > 100 dB. Check whichever selection criteria apply, such as measurement or operating range, resolution, accuracy, sensitivity, interfaces, software compatibility, environmental limits, accessories, and any stated test conditions. Not every criterion applies to every product.
Published applications include phase-stable RF measurement interconnects; outdoor base-station test setups; harsh-environment RF measurement; dynamic-flexure measurement repeatability. Use the application notes as selection guidance, then confirm the required operating conditions, interfaces, software compatibility, and accessories against the published specifications.
Compare alternatives when the published measurement or operating range, resolution, accuracy, sensitivity, interfaces, software compatibility, environmental limits, or available accessories do not match the intended workflow. Confirm any critical value together with its stated conditions before selecting a configuration.
