Power cabling and distribution
HUBER+SUHNER’s Power Cabling and Distribution solutions deliver high-voltage performance for electric and commercial vehicles, with proven durability in the harshest environments. Designed with a modular and compact housing, the mHVDU (modular High Voltage Distribution Unit) offers space and weight savings while maintaining flexibility through standardized, configurable components. These solutions are also transferable to airborne applications. Supporting a wide range of cable assemblies from sealed wiring harnesses and open-wire looms to battery leads, RF cables, and fiber-optic assemblies.
MINIBEND - The original "bend-to-the-end" ideal for tight spaces
Flexible, preassembled coaxial cable assemblies designed for internal point-to-point interconnections between RF modules within systems. Enables bending immediately behind the connector and boasts impressive pull strength and mechanical durability.
EN4604-010 KX cable
KX coaxial cables from HUBER+SUHNER are characterised by their light weight and flexibility. EN4604-010 KX cables are designed specifically for on-site assembly and comply with the EN standard. The ideal cable for installation in a demanding environment with limited space.
Eacon – field terminated microwave assembly
Eacon stands for EAsy CONnection – a simple cable and connector solution for a flexible and fast field-termination of microwave cable assemblies without compromising high performance. The new field-terminated microwave cables and connectors are light weight and water ingress protected up to IP68 and support frequencies up to 18 GHz with a wide assortment of connector options.
EN4652 connectors
EN4652 connectors are suitable for use at up to 6 GHz and, in combination with KX and KW cables, create the optimal, field-configurable assembly. Thanks to clamping technology, this latest generation of connectors can be installed easily and quickly. EN4652 connectors are extremely light and comply with the prEN 4652-001:2014 qualification. Robust ASN-E connectors from HUBER+SUHNER have a long-established reputation in the aviation industry and are used in production and maintenance environments by companies including AIRBUS. The connectors, which can be field assembled, comply with the MIL standard and can be used up to 6 GHz. ABS connectors have been specially developed and designed for use by AIRBUS. The crimp and clamp version can be used up to 6 GHz. Despite offering simple installation using knurled screws, these connectors meet the stringent requirements of the aircraft industry.
TNC Self-lock
The TNC Self-lock is an advanced anti-rotate RF microwave connector designed to enhance safety and reliability in aerospace environments. Its innovative lock-collar mechanism eliminates the need for traditional lockwire, reducing the risk of foreign object debris (FOD) in aircraft systems. Maintaining consistent mating torque, the connector ensures secure and stable RF performance. With a compact form factor comparable to standard TNC connectors and optional interface configurations available, the TNC Self-lock offers a robust, maintenance-friendly solution for mission-critical applications.
Lightning and EMP protection
HUBER+SUHNER offers protection components for terrestrial, airborne and naval tactical communications as well as for navigation, radar and electronic warfare applications and Satcom. HUBER+SUHNER holds groundbreaking patents in the field of coaxial lightning and HEMP protection, such as the automatically suppressing surge arrestor (Semper).
