Phase invariant cable assemblies

Microwave cable assemblies

HUBER+SUHNER SUCOFLEX flexible microwave cable assemblies offer superior electrical and mechanical performance for static and dynamic applications. This series is a high-end product designed to provide optimal performance up to 50 GHz, where stringent electrical requirements, in particular electrical stability and low loss, are important. Ideally suited for test and measurement applications and defense systems. Additional lightweight high-end versions are designed to meet the stringent needs of space flights systems (i.e. satellites) and aerospace systems (aircrafts, helicopters, missiles), which are subject to extremely severe operating conditions. SUCOFLEX is only available as assembly.

SUCOFLEX® 100

The SUCOFLEX 100 series flexible microwave cable assemblies offer superior electrical and mechanical performance for static and dynamic applications. This series is a high-end product designed to provide optimal performance up to 50 GHz, where stringent electrical requirements – in particular stability and low loss – are important. Their mechanical and climate resistance properties surpass those of standard flexible cables.

SUCOFLEX® 200

The tape wrapped SUCOFLEX 200 microwave cable assemblies have been specifically developed for high performance and anywhere the best insertion loss, high phase stability versus temperature, excellent return loss and mechanical stability are most important.

SUCOFLEX® 300

The SUCOFLEX 300 lightweight, low loss flexible microwave cable assemblies are high-end products designed to meet the stringent needs of space flight systems (e. g. satellites) and aerospace systems (aircraft, helicopters, missiles), which are subjected to extremely severe operating conditions. The 300 series offers a consistently outstanding mechanical and electrical performance, stability and reliability up to 40 GHz. The added feature of this SUCOFLEX type is a weight reduction of up to 50% compared to conventional HUBER+SUHNER products.

Field terminated microwave cable assemblies

Some applications require on site flexibility because undefined conditions in the field ask for cable length and connector configuration right on the spot, while other scenarios ask for assembly termination after the cable installation (for example, if the cable feedthrough is smaller than the connector dimension).

Therefore, HUBER+SUHNER offers solutions to terminate microwave assemblies in the field with a tool box that allows easy, quick and solderless cable assembling, without affecting our high product standards.

Eacon

Eacon stands for a simple, flexible and fast way to assemble microwave cables and connectors in the field without compromises to the best performance. The field mountable microwave cables and connectors are light and waterproof, built for frequencies up to 18 GHz – ready for use in the defense market as well as generally in the industrial market.

Flexible low loss cables

The product series Spuma, S and SX provide lowest attenuation, high flexibility and optimal shielding. Products from the Spuma series are similar to the LMR® products from Times Microwave. The series with LSFH jacket material and the radiation crosslinked SX series with the RADOX® jacket offer extremely high flame protection.

S cables

HUBER+SUHNER low loss coaxial cables with foamed PE dielectric have been carefully designed for excellent electrical performance focusing on low loss, high velocity, high power and low VSWR. These flexible coaxial cables feature greatly improved cable bending characteristics, which make them ideal for use in limited spaces and where multiple bends are required. Ideal for use in critical antenna system applications.

Spuma

The HUBER+SUHNER Spuma product family stands for lowest loss with halogen free materials. Shielding and VSWR are optimised up to 6 GHz. The cables are more flexible than corrugated ones, allowing easier handling and installation. Tight bending radii are possible. With this set of features, Spuma can support a multitude of application in various industries, including railway, defense, communication, instrumentation and others. Spuma products can also be used as drop-in replacement for LMR® (LMR® is a brand of Times Microwave Inc.).

Spuma FR

The flame retardant Spuma cables provide great flame retardancy making the range viable for rolling stock and indoor applications. These are railway approved according to EN 45545-2 and NFPA 130.

Spuma RS FR

Spuma RS FR is the most flexible cable from Spuma family. The patented rotary swaging (RS) technology (low-loss strand) allows to overcome the common trade-off between flexibility and low attenuation. Furthermore, the new TPU jacket material provides flame retardancy without compromising on flexibility.

SX cables

HUBER+SUHNER cross-linking technology in combination with low loss dielectrics makes this product portfolio outstanding. Cross-linking allows the maximum application temperature of polyethylene to be increased from +85 to +105 °C. This extended range covers most applications. It allows operation in a higher power range, and connectors with soldered inner conductors can be easily applied.

High temperature coaxial cables

The PTFE/FEP cables of our RG/K series are designed for applications up to 200 °C and are characterised by low losses, especially at high frequencies. The Enviroflex cables do not contain fluorine plastics either in the dielectric nor in the jacket and thus provide a robust and environmentally friendly option.

Enviroflex

The Enviroflex cable family enables users to quickly switch from fluorine-containing cables to halogen-free alternatives. The materials used in the cable design – both for the dielectric and for the jacket – do not include any fluorine-consisting plastics. The dimensions of the individual cable types are entirely compatible with the international RG standards. Standard connectors can be used without any restrictions with the Enviroflex cable family. HUBER+SUHNER´s control of various key technologies has proven to be an invaluable advantage.

RG/K

HUBER+SUHNER high temperature coax cables are designed for applications up to 200 °C, depending on the material selection of the cable. Cable types out of this portfolio provide lowest loss especially at high frequency thanks to PTFE dielectric material.
