The Toughest Coaxial Cable Assemblies You'll Find Anywhere

HSI provides custom, high-performance, ruggedized coaxial cable assemblies capable of delivering high reliability even within environmentally hostile and demanding environments. HSI’s armored coaxial cable assemblies can be specified for low-loss, phase-stable operation at frequencies through 70 GHz (depending upon connector) and in any number of multi-conductor constructions, to handle RF/microwave signals, power, and hybrid solutions. Manufactured with abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, and temperature-resistant materials, HSI’s armored coaxial cable assemblies are available as multi-conductor, micro coaxial, and mixed-signal configurations; which are not limited to exploration, industrial and medical applications.

HSI’s high-performance, ruggedized coaxial cable assemblies are constructed with RFX™ crush-resistant cable, which features excellent electrical performance; typically 0.93 dB/ft insertion loss and 1.10:1 VSWR at 18 GHz. These cable assemblies exhibit excellent recovery after high crush forces have been applied and removed. 

Features

  • Bend radius as small as 0.50 in. 
  • Multi-conductor constructions exceeding 500+ individual micro coaxial cables in sizes up to 48 AWG
  • Crush strengths in-excess of 300 lbs/in.
  • Phase stability of ±2 deg.
  • Amplitude stability of ±0.05 dB

  • Ideal for use in communications, test systems, exploration, industrial, robotics, medical, and surveillance systems
