High Technology Shielding
EMI Hardened, EMP Shielded Cable Assemblies
Lightweight, low loss Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) hardened High Technology Shielding (HTS) coaxial cables are high performance EW-grade assemblies with EMI shielding protection above 30 MHz this is t0dB better than the best EW cables.
These cables assemblies will meet or exceed the applicable EW cable mil specs and are used on systems in which RF shielding is important without degradation to insertion loss or flexibility. The significant HF shielding elements of HTS shielding may be applied to any high performance cable.
Keyed Connectors
Applications in which multiple cable assemblies with identical connector interfaces must be coupled and de-coupled frequently without error, a useful solution is a keyed connector arrangement. This solution allows only the correct connector pair to be mated. This feature is particularly useful in applications in which wrong connections may cause significant system level damage.
Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Contamination Survivable (NBCCS) Cable Assemblies
We can design and manufacture RF cable systems to withstand nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) contamination. This capability is provided through the use of Raychem Heat Shrinkable NBCCS tubing and molded parts with Cobham RF cables.
NBC cable assemblies are tested to exposure from chemical agents using Army TOP 8-2-511. These rugged systems provide protection against physical abuse, resistance to common vehicular and aerospace fluids and temperature extremes.
Phase and Amplitude-Matched Cables
We have extensive experience in the design and manufacture of phased and amplitude-matched cable assemblies. We fabricate and store reference standards. In many cases, existing cable designs will satisfy the requirement. When necessary, a new cable can be developed to meet the specific application.
Cobham Sensor Systems’ dedicated temperature- and humidity-controlled facility provides for prompt delivery of cable assemblies that meet the demanding requirements of those found in MIL-DTL-87104 or MIL-T-81490.
SL Multi-port Interconnection System
Spring Loaded (SL) multi-port connectors are specially developed designed to satisfy high-performance interconnections not previously achievable with multi-port connectors. The SL connector conforms to MIL-T-81490 and MIL-DTL-87104 and does not exhibit performance degradation when exposed to harsh environments. SL connectors are in use on several defense applications. Housing is available in several configurations. All ports need not be used but could be available for future cable additions.
