CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

AO Microwave Products Division’s extremely Low Loss Cable Assemblies are optimized for operation in their respective frequency bands from low MHz to 67 GHz. Upon request we have the ability to accommodate custom assembly configurations, and can extrude a broad range of jacketing materials. Our jacketing capabilities allow us to produce assemblies that have extra flexibility, extended flex life, low and high temperature ranges, and resistance to oils and corrosive materials. Our standard assemblies are extruded with FEP. Here is a list of other materials that are available but not limited to:

  • FEP
  • PFA
  • Tefzel
  • Silicone Rubber
  • Estane® 58244 (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

Below is an overview of our standard product selection, but as you peruse our catalog you can see we can offer you and your company a vast amount of options.
