SEMI-RIGID MICROWAVE ASSEMBLIES

Scott Cables have been manufacturing semi-rigid RF cable assemblies for many years and have a fully equipped tool room so that specialist jigs and fixtures can be made in-house, reducing both cost and lead-time. With a dedicated tool room, programmable Thermo-cycling Chamber, Cable Forming Machines, Clean Room Facility and VNA test equipment, our facilities enable us to produce comprehensive Semi-Rigid Assemblies.

A semi-rigid RF cable assembly is made using a special type of coaxial cable that is pliable enough to be bent into custom shapes but rigid enough to hold its shape once formed. Forming a semi-rigid RF cable is a difficult process and should only be performed by skilled operators using specialist tooling to prevent damage to wall of the cable when bending.
