With HSI Hand-formables You Can Maintain Every Bend 

Hand-formable coaxial cable assemblies from HSI are cost-effective, high-performance alternatives to semi-rigid coaxial cables. Suitable for applications up to 20 GHz, these low-loss cable assemblies are based on HSI’s TB Series conformable coaxial cables and are ideal for high-frequency communication systems and inside box test equipment and measurement systems. With solid center conductors, PTFE dielectric material, and tin-filled braid composite outer conductors, HSI’s hand-formable coaxial cable assemblies maintain excellent electrical performance even with a tight bend radius. The solid center conductor, which maintains its shape after bending, can be formed and reformed numerous times . These cable assemblies can be supplied in standard and custom lengths with a variety of jacket types, including tin-filled and PVC jackets, and with bare copper, silver plated-copper-wire (SPCW), and nonmagnetic silver-plated-copper (SPC) center conductors.
