Session Notes

Micro-Coax leverages nearly 100 years of combined experience, going back to 1936 with the legacy of Uniform Tubes and Precision Tubes. This history ensures a legacy of quality and reliable performance. Our semi-rigid cables adhere to the foundational industry standard, MIL-DTL-17.

Our vertically integrated manufacturing approach provides complete design and manufacturing control for:

For semi-rigid products, this integration includes in-house processes such as outer conductor tube drawing, tube plating, dielectric extrusion, and straight length cable sinking. All manufacturing is US-based near Philadelphia to mitigate risk and produce highly reliable products for mission-critical applications.

Semi-Rigid Product Variety and Capabilities

The product line offers a diverse range of sizes, materials, and impedances:

  • Diameters: From 0.013″ up to 0.390″
  • Impedances: 50Ω to 100Ω
  • Conductors: Options include silver-plated copper, stainless steel, and silver-plated beryllium copper

High-Reliability Cable Assemblies

For semi-rigid assemblies, Micro-Coax offers solutions beyond just adding connectors, focusing on precision and repeatability:

  • Forming and Assembly
  • Inspection and Quality
  • Connectors

Key Applications for Semi-Rigid Cable

While semi-rigid cable is not the choice for applications with repeated flexing, it is ideal for many other uses requiring high-performance and reliable signal transmission:

  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Medical Equipment
  • Scientific Research
  • Test and Measurement

If you have a challenging application, the our team is happy to work with you to find the best semi-rigid solution. For customers needing quick-turn prototypes, cable can be purchased in straight lengths through distribution, offering competitive pricing and live inventory.
