OUR MICROWAVE CABLE ASSEMBLIES
We offer fit for purpose solutions, microwave cable assemblies designed to meet your technical requirements, both electrical and mechanical. We do so within your budget, or decreasing the cost levels with your current suppliers.
Our microwave coaxial cables are designed to perform with the lowest loss possible, due to an optimised construction and use of the best materials available.
Gigalink MCE delivers to the most demanding markets: aerospace and defence as well as to telecommunication and test and measurement applications.
When we quote cables assemblies to you we will issue a detailed drawing with a
relevant and important electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Gigalink MCE will gladly help you designing your connection systems using all our experience and the knowledge of our partners. Please contact us for more information.
ULTRA LOW LOSS MICROWAVE CABLES
Our range of Ultra Low Loss Microwave cables have been designed to perform with the lowest loss possible. Consequently the cables have a solid inner conductor and have therefore are not recommended for use where multiple flexes under low radii are requested.

12 GHz. microwave coaxial cable close to a combustion engine being exposed to 600 degree during 2 minutes,
enduring high G-forces, vibration and also stringent saltfog requirements.
This cable needed special mechanical protections as well as thermo-conductive layers to cope with the high temperature. The connectors have been designed specially to withstand the heat but also the salt-fog requirements.
FLEXIBLE ULTRA LOW LOSS
MICROWAVE CABLES
This range has of coaxial cables have an innerconductor made out of multiple strands making them suitable for flexing applications, average to 25.000 bendings. The construction ensures optimum stability in phase and attenuation amplitude. The construction of this range of cables is such that we have the lowest attenuation available for cables with a flexible inner conductor.

ULTRA FLEXIBLE ULTRA LOW LOSS
MICROWAVE CABLES
When it comes to real stability under a high number of flexes this is the range of cables you are looking for. Proven track record in applications where up to a million flexes are made, the stability of this range is outstanding.
These cables are designed to flex!
As one of our customers stated: After testing many different cables we came to the conclusion that this is really the best cable on the planet for dynamic applications.

This set of microwave able to keep the same phase match variations after hundreds and thousands of bendings, in a moisture environment. The cable used is for us relatively standard, the design of the moisture blocked connectors is special, also given the fact that the cables are strongly bended right after the connectors.

In 1994 we were asked to design a microwave cable specially for use on naval vessels where all cables are normally installed unprotected, not good for microwave coaxial cables which lose their electrical performance once damaged.
Able to withstand mechanical impact from outside, easy installation by means of ty-wraps, simplified connector construction for easy repairs and outstanding performance.
Our solution proofs its reliability, after 20 years of use the degradation in insertion loss is less than 1%. Our confidence is resulting in a life time guarantee for these cables.
