Electronic Warfare

EW applications require cable assemblies that can withstand a broad range of harsh environments and still provide a high-quality RF/microwave interconnect over time.  Cobham Sensor Systems’ high performance cable assemblies are designed to survive these conditions.  Cable assemblies are tested to the rigorous requirements of MIL-T-81490 and MIL-DTL-87104 and offer the optimum in electrical, mechanical and environmental specifications.   

In many applications, increased signal strength may equate to higher system performance.  For those situations, we offer high performance cable assemblies with solid center conductors to provide an even lower loss interconnect than our stranded center conductor cable assemblies.  Just like our high performance EW cable assemblies, the very low loss family meets the same stringent military specifications and will also meet the demands of your application. 

When long continuous runs of flexible coaxial cable are needed to connect an antenna and transmit/receive module (i.e. mast applications), the unique construction of our mast cables permits the cable to be mounted on a reel for re-deployable systems.  We also supply cable assembly on the reel with pulling grips and hangers ready to use in your system. 

Space

Cables for space applications are helically shielded designs to provide very low loss and improved phase stability versus temperature.  Ideally suited for interconnecting modules within subsystems or devices within modules, this versatile design can substantially improve system performance.  In addition, helically shielded cables for a given cable size are lightweight with best tracking phase and lowest bending force and available with a Tefzelâ radiation resistant jacket.

Cobham Sensor Systems offers a large selection a large selection of space cable sizes and connector interfaces that are available in both phase matched and insertion loss matched sets with unique multipaction-free connectors.
