ANTENNA SYSTEMS Smaller and lighter than MIL-DTL-17 cables, our rugged antenna mast cable assemblies are capable of continuous flexing in severe tactical environments—hot or cold. Compared to corrugated copper air-dielectric cables, our low loss, low VSWR mast cables can handle more than five times the CW power at one-half the minimum bend radius. Reelable in lengths up to several thousand feet, they can be easily unwound, deployed and rewound hundreds of times without degrading performance. Our phase-stable instrument test cable assemblies were the first to break the 40 GHz barrier. These special...

The round braider produces round braid over first outer conductor for mechanical strength and additional shielding

ANTENNA SYSTEMS Cobham maintains a complete in-house cable assembly manufacturing capability and has been producing quality coaxial cable assemblies for more than 50 years. To ensure high product quality, we design and manufacture our own bulk cable and connector piece parts that make up these cable assemblies. Our production department is equipped to produce more than 10,000 cable assemblies per month. The manufacturing process is closely monitored to ensure consistency of yield and to maintain the high quality that is synonymous with Cobham cables. Over the years, we have developed a complete...

We utilize precision state-of-the-art equipment to test all cable assemblies for swept VSWR and insertion loss. We have the capability to perform complete qualification testing to MIL-T-81490, MIL-DTL-87104, and customer-defined specifications. Upon request, we can provide actual measured insertion loss and VSWR data with each cable assembly. When considering different levels of acceptance testing, please be aware that the following alternatives can minimize total cable assembly costs: 1. Certification of sample testing — recorded data retained at Cobham. 2. Testing for VSWR and insertion loss...
