Our High Performance airborne Electronic Warfare
cable assemblies are so tough they must successfully
endure 29 torturous environmental tests before
receiving our seal of approval. Test extremes
include 65 G vibration,
-65o to 200o C at 70,000 feet, and 100,000 flexures,
to mention just a few.
Although we built our reputation for high-quality
precision coaxial cable assemblies in the tough
EW markets, we also provide them to non-defense
and commercial markets.
Smaller and lighter than MIL-C-17 cables, our
rugged antenna Mast cable assemblies are capable
of continuous flexing in severe tactical environments-hot
or cold. Compared to corrugated copper air-dielectric
cables, our low loss, low VSWR mast cables can
handle more than five times the CW power at one-half
the minimum bend radius. Reel-able in lengths
to several thousand feet, they can be easily
unwound, deployed and rewound hundreds of times
without degrading performance.
We've been selected by major air carriers to
satisfy critical insertion loss and phase-match
requirements for the FAA-mandated T-CAS (Traffic-Alert
Collision Avoidance System) and MODE-S programs.
Our T-CAS cable assemblies are manufactured to
meet the same reliability and quality as our
EW cables, yet offer the airlines the flexibility
of field replaceable connector interfaces to
eliminate costly "airplane-on-ground" (AOG)
delays or flight cancellations.
We maintain a complete in-house cable assembly
manufacturing capability and have been producing
quality coaxial cable assemblies for more than
30 years. To ensure high product quality, we
design and manufacture our own bulk cable and
connector piece parts that make up these cable
assemblies.
Over the years, a complete product line of high-performance
coaxial cables has been developed, encompassing
cable sizes that range from 0.09 inch (2.3 mm)
diameter FZ09, a very flexible cable, to the
large 0.92 inch (23 mm) diameter FE92 flexible
cable with extremely low insertion loss for special
ground-based applications.
