BFi OPTiLAS - Cable Assemblies

Cable Assemblies

A variety of cable functions can be incorporated into one cable harness by combining RF, Logic and power lines into one integrated assembly.

Mechanical operations, such as alignment or mounting functions, also can be built into harness designs.

Benefits such as minimal inventory, reduced inspection, and fewer cable installations can be realised through the integration of many cables into one harness.

Each harness is built with in-process controls and tested for Hipot and continuity.

Cable Harnesses

Custom Delay Line design and manufacturing capabilities are offered utilising a variety of cable and connector styles. Delay Line capabilities extend to frequency range of 20 GHz and can be manufacture top a tolerance of ±10 ps.

A variety of propagation velocities are available through specific cables with distinct tolerances. Unique production methods support cost effective manufacturing of high density in standard packages as well as miniature custom designs. Delay Lines are available in cable diameters from 0.034 to 0.141".

Over Molded Cables

The matching of electrical lengths of cable is available from DC to 40 GHZ or both flexible and semi-rigid cable groups. Phase-matched cable assemblies can be specified from among a variety of connectors and cables.

An assortment of cable propagation velocities is available that will result in varying mechanical lengths per degree of phase.

All phase data can be provided upon request.
