RF and Microwave Cable Assemblies
Radbon manufactures coaxial RF cable assemblies for instruments, automated testing and broadband communications, with connector interfaces up to 110 GHz and phase-matched sets. Cable and connector selection determine the rating of each assembly.

Connector options
Maximum connector-interface frequencies are shown below. These are interface ratings, not a guaranteed operating range for every cable assembly. Confirm your cable, connector and test requirements with Radbon.
- Straight or right angle orientation
- Semi-flexible or semi-rigid cable in .031, .047, .086, and .092 inch sizes
- PCB launch in through hole or surface mount, including edge launch
- Adapters between interfaces and polarities
- Panel flanges and IP6X sealing on request

Phase-matched sets
Relative or absolute phase matching is available per lot, expressed in time or phase, with pairs or larger sets available. Send your operating band and matching tolerance for review.
Cable options
Cable options include flexible RG, semi-rigid, conformable, low-loss and micro-coaxial types. The temperature ranges below do not cover every cable type. Confirm the specific construction for your project.
| Cable family | Impedance | Temperature range |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible RG | 50 Ω or 75 Ω | −55 to +200 °C |
| Semi-rigid | 50 Ω | −40 to +100 °C |
| Low loss (LMR type) | 50 Ω | −40 to +85 °C |
| Micro-coaxial | 50 Ω | −70 to +150 °C |
Testing and records
Network-analyzer testing is available at a dedicated RF test station. Specify the measurements, acceptance limits and records you need; confirm the test scope and deliverables with your quotation.
Frequently asked questions
What frequency range is available?
Connector interfaces are available up to 110 GHz. The complete assembly rating depends on the selected cable and connectors.
Are phase-matched sets available?
Relative and absolute phase-matched sets are available in pairs or larger sets. Send the tolerance and operating band for review.
Can I request test records?
Include the required measurements and records with your inquiry so Radbon can confirm the test scope and documentation.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. Share your quantities, drawing status and schedule so we can prepare a project-specific quotation.
