Robust Performing Coax Termination

Coaxial termination cable is the type of cable with a center conductor surrounded by an insulator that is covered by conductive protection and usually an outer jacket. The protective layer may be rigid or foil, or braided, or combinations with one or more layers.

The term coaxial comes from the internal conductor and the external protection having the central axis. Coaxial cable is different from other protected cable as the dimensions for all layers or components are meticulously controlled to offer constant spacing, so that it can function as a transmission cable

Coaxial termination can be divided into two types –  rigid and flexible. Flexible cables incorporate the basic single-line coax, also others incorporating biaxial (the old two-line TV cable), twin axial (twisted pair inside the cylindrical shield, triaxial or two coax lines with a protective layer also a common external shield, and semi-flexible also known as conformable or hand-formable cable, where the external shield is braided, filled with solder, and can be handled for a limited number of bends and semi-rigid.

What is Cable Harness Assembly?

A cable harness assembly is a combination of wires, cables, or subassemblies that is perfectly designed to transmit electrical power or signals. A basic wire harness may incorporate a few as three different components, while the more classical harnesses incorporate more wires and other passive, and active components.

Cable assemblies are a combination of cables or wires that are shielded in an external layer of a different product to keep the cables together. The motive of cable assemblies is to keep wires and cables arranged. These cable assemblies often serve the same function to wire harnesses but are ideally designed for entirely different environments. Many times, they are made from heavy-duty materials like thermoplastic rubber, vinyl, or shrink-wrapped thermoplastic.

The cable harness assemblies are more durable to face tougher environments. Cable assemblies come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The protective external layer is often built to shield the internal wires from friction, moisture,  compression, heat,  and any other hazards that might occur. Cable assemblies can be the more expensive option, but they will keep the product shielded in the most extreme conditions.
