This is a specialized twin-coaxial cable designed for use in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT). It is used to connect a dual-element transducer to a flaw detector, a configuration known as "pitch-catch" that is particularly effective for corrosion/erosion mapping and flaw detection on curved or rough surfaces.
Key Features & Benefits:
Dual UT Cable: This cable is specifically constructed with two independent coaxial lines, allowing it to connect a dual-element transducer (one for transmitting, one for receiving) to the flaw detector. This configuration is essential for dual-element probes, which cannot be used with a standard single-coaxial cable.
BNC Connectors: The "BNC - BNC" designation typically refers to the connection type. A standard configuration for this cable is a "Y-cable," which has a single BNC connector on the end that plugs into the flaw detector and splits into two BNC connectors on the other end to connect to a dual-element transducer with two BNC inputs.
RG174 Coaxial Cable: RG174 is a miniature coaxial cable known for its flexibility and small diameter. This makes it an ideal choice for field applications where maneuverability and access to tight spaces are critical. Its smaller size, however, results in higher signal attenuation than larger cables like RG58, so it is best suited for shorter lengths like 2 meters.
2-Meter Length (2M): The cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.56 feet) long, which is a standard length that provides a good balance between range and signal integrity for most field and laboratory applications.
"MC" Designation: This is likely a manufacturer-specific part or series code. While "MC" can be an abbreviation for "Microdot Connector," that is unlikely here as it would contradict the "BNC-BNC" description. It is most probable that it stands for a specific model or series from a manufacturer.
