The twistable models are able to twist in different directions, the twist flex material is wound, interlocking brass that allows it to slide on itself. These flexible waveguides provide VSWR of 1.05:1, insertion loss of 0.15 dB and max power of 1.5 kW.
The seamless models are made of a solid piece of brass that is pressed into shape. These flexible waveguides can be used in pressurized applications, deliver VSWR of 1.07:1, insertion loss of 0.06 dB and max power of 5 kW.
