Coaxial Cable & Assemblies

A coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable designed to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals with minimal interference and signal loss. It consists of a central conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, a metallic shield, and an outer jacket. The shielded construction keeps the signal contained and protected from external electromagnetic interference, making it the standard choice for RF transmission between components like transmitters, receivers, and antennas.

Coaxial cable is used wherever a reliable RF signal needs to travel between two points. Common applications include base station and fixed-position installations, broadcast infrastructure, marine communications, mobile vehicle setups, and wireless data networks. The right cable for your application will depend on factors like frequency range, required flexibility, run length, and acceptable signal loss.

The main variables are signal loss tolerance, physical environment, and connector compatibility. For longer runs or higher-frequency applications, a low-loss cable like RU400 is a reliable and cost-effective option. For harsh or outdoor environments, MIL-SPEC or Teflon-insulated options offer greater reliability.
