copper transmission lines with polumer insulator
 

Hi all,

I am working on an application of transmission lines for use in
magnetic resonance. I know I have seen in the past pre-made
transmission line that has an inner conductor surrounded by a white
insulator ( I think it is Kel-F, it may be teflon) and a copper layer
on the outside. It is quite stiff, and comes in long pieces that can
be bent with a little effort. Does anyone know where I can pick some
of this up? I have been through about 200 google pages with no luck.

Thanks

Try googling Rigid Coax

Micro Coax (http://www.micro-coax.com/) is one source for semi-rigid coaxial
cable, and comes in (IIRC) up to 8' lengths. The stuff isn't cheap,
though... be prepared to empty your wallet!

You can get it in longer lengths (at least 100') in a big coil (it's
like copper tubing, after all).

Depends on what you call expensive.. $4-10/ft in 50' coils is a typical
price. Pasternack sells 5' lengths of 0.085" copper for $3.66/ft
