Flexible, Low Loss Coaxial Cable Assemblies

HSI offers a comprehensive choice of flexible, low-loss, coaxial cable assemblies which exceed the performance of everyday, standard flexible coaxial cable solutions. Our flexible coaxial cable assemblies meet MIL-C-17/LMR specifications and are constructed with solid, foamed and proprietary low-dielectric constant membranes, and precise closed-loop-control manufacturing processes. HSI’s flexible coaxial cable technology is agnostic and can be engineered for a wide variety of applications ranging from wireless broadband, test systems, ground based satellites, antennas, electronic warfare, defense, automotive, robotic, medical, telecommunication, microwave, etc.

HSI's range of 0.047, 0.086 and 0.141 inch cable solutions can be terminated to a wide range of coaxial connectors, including 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, SMA, TNC, Type N, and other high performance connectors. These high-performance, flexible cables feature silver-plated copper-clad center conductors, achieving static bend radius as small as 0.25 in., and boasting up to 90+% velocity of propagations (VPs).
