Coaxial Cables (RF)

1. Overview

RF coaxial cables are cylindrical transmission lines consisting of concentric conductors separated by dielectric materials. They enable efficient transfer of high-frequency electrical signals (typically 1 MHz to 110 GHz) with minimal interference, making them critical components in telecommunications, broadcasting, aerospace, and test equipment. Their shielded structure ensures signal integrity in noisy environments.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

TypeKey FeaturesApplications
Rigid Coaxial CableMetallic outer conductor, fixed geometryTest labs, high-power transmitters
Semi-Rigid CableFormable but non-flexing, excellent shieldingMicrowave systems, aerospace
Flexible Coaxial CableBraided shield, bendableGeneral-purpose communication systems
Low-Loss Foam DielectricPE/PTFE dielectric, reduced attenuation5G infrastructure, satellite links

3. Structure and Composition

Typical construction includes:
  1. Center Conductor: Solid/stranded copper/aluminum for signal transmission
  2. Dielectric Insulator: Polyethylene (PE) or PTFE foam maintaining uniform impedance
  3. Shielding Layer: Braided copper/aluminum with 85-95% coverage (single/double layers)
  4. Outer Jacket: PVC/PE for mechanical/environmental protection
Critical dimensions determine characteristic impedance (commonly 50 for data/75 for video).

4. Key Technical Parameters

ParameterDescriptionImportance
Characteristic ImpedanceMatched load resistance (50/75 )Minimizes signal reflection
Attenuation (dB/100m)Signal loss per unit lengthDetermines transmission distance
Frequency RangeOperational bandwidth (e.g., 0-18GHz)Limits application scope
VSWRVoltage Standing Wave RatioMeasures impedance matching quality
Power HandlingMax RF power capacityPrevents dielectric breakdown

5. Application Fields

  • Telecommunications: 5G base stations, fiber-wireless systems
  • Broadcasting: TV antenna feeds, studio equipment
  • Aerospace: Radar systems, avionics
  • Test & Measurement: Oscilloscope probes, signal analyzers
  • Industrial IoT: Wireless sensor networks

6. Leading Manufacturers

ManufacturerKey Products
Amphenol CorporationSUCOFLEX 104, 106 series
TE ConnectivityRadiation-resistant RG-58
HUBER+SUHNERRF flexible cables (SST series)
CommScopeHeliax FSJ1-50A
Southwest Microwave832 Series semi-rigid

7. Selection Guidelines

Key considerations:
  • Match impedance to system requirements
  • Verify frequency/attenuation specifications
  • Environmental factors (temperature, UV resistance)
  • Mechanical requirements (flexure life, bending radius)
  • Connector compatibility (SMA, N-Type, etc.)
Example: 5G massive MIMO deployment requires low-PIM (Passive Intermodulation) cables with <0.1dB/100m loss at 3.5GHz.

8. Industry Trends

  • High-Frequency Demand: Development of 110GHz+ cables for 6G research
  • Weight Reduction: Composite materials in aerospace applications
  • Green Manufacturing: Halogen-free jacket materials adoption
  • Smart Cables: Embedded sensors for condition monitoring
  • Standardization: 5G NR band-specific cable specifications
