Andrew F090CKS3 FlexTwist® WR90 Flexible Twistable Waveguide, 8.2–12.4 GHz, 900 mm (35.43"), CPR90G to PBR100
The Andrew F090CKS3 is a 900 mm (35.43-inch) flexible, twistable rectangular waveguide assembly designed for microwave transmission systems operating from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz.
Part of the Andrew FlexTwist® family, this WR90 waveguide provides a flexible connection between microwave antennas, radio equipment, and rigid waveguide transmission components.
The assembly features a CPR90G flange on one end and a PBR100 flange on the opposite end, allowing interconnection between compatible WR90 waveguide interfaces.
Its flexible construction permits controlled bending and twisting to accommodate alignment differences, simplify installation, and reduce mechanical stress on connected microwave equipment.
Designed for X-band microwave applications, the F090CKS3 is suitable for point-to-point microwave radio links, telecommunications infrastructure, radar systems, and microwave antenna feed assemblies.
The flexible design is particularly useful where rigid waveguide sections cannot easily accommodate the required routing or equipment positioning.
