Benefits of Coaxial Cable Assemblies

As society advances, it becomes crucial to maintain a communication network capable of supporting high-level functions. This is where coaxial cable assemblies have gained popularity, offering a consistent and reliable solution for transferring high-frequency electrical signals with minimal losses. Read on to learn more about these products and their benefits. We’ll cover how they’re made and what industries use them. By the end of this coax cable assembly guide, you’ll know why Cables Connection’s coax cable assemblies are the right custom cable assembly choice for your project.

What Are Coaxial Cable Assemblies?

A coaxial cable assembly is a specialized type of transmission line used for carrying high-frequency electrical signals. These assemblies are commonly utilized in various applications, including broadband internet networking, telephone trunk lines, cable television signals, and connecting radio receivers and transmitters. Unlike other shielded cable assemblies, coaxial cables are designed with precise conductor spacing, enabling efficient signal transmission. The typical components of a coaxial cable assembly include:

1. Inner Copper Conductor: This innermost part of the cable transmits all data.

2. Dielectric Plastic Insulation: Surrounding the copper conductor, it maintains the spacing between the shield and the center conductor.

3. Braided Metal Conductor: Acts as a barrier, preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) from entering or leaving the cable.

4. Protective Plastic Outer Jacket: This sheath safeguards the inner layers of the coaxial cable assembly from external factors such as weather, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations.

Understanding the different parts and their roles is crucial to realizing the full potential of coaxial cable assemblies. Cables Connection pays meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring the highest quality in our  coaxial cable assembly products.

Types of Coaxial Cable Assemblies:

Cables Connection offers a wide range of coaxial cable assembly products, including standard and custom solutions tailored to specific project requirements. Here are some of the main types:

1. Rigid Coaxial Cables: Designed for indoor use between high-power RF transmitters, these cables consist of two copper tubes supported by disk insulators or PTFE supports at fixed intervals.

2. Hardline Coaxial Cables: Featuring larger diameters, these cables have center conductors made of copper and silver. They are commonly used to connect transmitters to antennas in permanent installations, offering solid shields, foam dielectrics, high power handling, and reduced power loss.

3. Flexible Coaxial Cables: Known for their flexibility due to the polymer surrounding the inner conductor, these assemblies are cost-effective options that cater to applications requiring repeated flexing or lower signal power.

4. Semi-rigid Coaxial Cables: With a solid copper outer sheath and a polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric, these cables outperform their flexible counterparts. They provide 100% shielding effectiveness, lower signal loss, a broader frequency range, and uniform impedance matching for power transfer.

5. Formable Coaxial Cables: These cables feature flexible metal sheaths instead of rigid copper outer sheaths, offering electrical performance similar to semi-rigid cables. They are easy to bend, form, and install while maintaining high shielding efficiency and excellent memory properties.

6. Twinaxial Cables: Suitable for low-frequency video and digital transmission, these cables have two central conductors in their cores and a single dielectric and outer core.

7. Triaxial Cables: These cables have an additional braided metal conductor that provides enhanced protection against noise, offering greater bandwidth compared to other coaxial cables.

Industries Using Coaxial Cable Assemblies:

Given the diverse range of coaxial cable assemblies available, Cables Connection caters to various industries, ensuring that project requirements are met effectively. Some of the industries benefiting from coaxial cable assemblies include:

· Communications and Telecom: Particularly in 5G cell towers and micro cells.
