Optimized Cable Assemblies Per Application Requirements

摘要

Cable assemblies are some of the most widely used components in military and commercial electronic systems. They are used as connections between components within racks, subsystems, antenna feeds and various test platforms, among many others. Although a cable assembly looks like a very simple component, consisting of just coaxial cable and connectors, in many situations it can be the critical factor determining system performance, life and cost. Developing the most suitable and effective cable assembly for a particular application with a reasonable cost is a real challenge for every system or subsystem designer. Good communication between customer and vendor is necessary for the proper choice of cable, connector and assembly technique.
