[felice]

Hi
What model would be used to determine failure rate for a RF COAX swith?
Tks

It will depend on the application, right? Is the cable in a non-static enviornement, i.e. large temperature swings, always bending / moving, etc..

Did you contact the COAX manufacturer?

Many tks! Is this covered somewhere in MIL-HDBK-217. Is there a model I could use?
Thanks for your help!

the MIL-HDBK-217 software packages probably have sometime to cover that. Bellcore is another methodology that should have something, and is supposedly based on actual field data.
