Additional Details:

This cable assembly typically consists of a coaxial cable terminated with specific connectors on each end. The specific connectors are SP3 connectors. The impedance is usually 50 ohms. The exact specifications of the cable (length, cable type, frequency range, VSWR, etc.) would need to be confirmed through the datasheet for this exact part number, but in general coaxial cable assemblies of this type are critical in RF applications where signal integrity and minimal loss are key requirements.
