Our coaxial products are available in multiple length options to cover a range of applications and come in a variety of interfaces including BNC, SMA, TNC, F Series, RCA, SMB, MCX, MC-Card, and N Series.  We also offer a complete line of coax assemblies built with Times Microwave components.

With numerous connector and cable configurations, both common and rare, our coaxial cables cover almost every RF application with a vast selection of cable assemblies.

We also supply custom versions of our standard coax cable.  Whether it is text printed on the cable, a specific jacket color, or even pre-striped cable ends and custom packaging, we can do it all as per your exact requirement.

We have the industry’s largest selection of off-the-shelf coaxial cable assemblies for 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm applications.  In addition to our standard coaxial cable offering, we also provide low-loss coaxial cable assemblies for all your WLAN application requirements.  Other bestsellers include the RG series coaxial cable assemblies, semi-rigid formable coax products, and low PIM coax products, ideal for Distributed Antenna Systems.

Our popular line of 50 Ohm RG58 cable assemblies is extensively used in data, GPS, and test and measurement networks.  They are available in several connector options, including BNC, SMA, and TNC, and are offered in straight and right-angle RG58 cable assemblies.

Coaxial Cable Types

Coaxial cables come in various types for specific applications and requirements. These cables also have different characteristic impedances, but most coaxial cables on the market have an impedance of 50 or 75 Ohms (Ω). 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm coax cables have different applications.

50 Ohm coax cables are more powerful than 75 Ohm cables and are often used for two-way radio frequency transmission. 50 Ohm cables are generally suited for industrial and commercial applications involving higher power, such as wireless communication systems and RF testing and measurement.

75 Ohm cables are designed to have a lower signal loss, making them suitable for audio and video applications such as CATV and satellite TV installations, CCTV systems, and some broadband Internet applications.

Here are some common coaxial cables used on the market:

• RG-6 Cable: RG-6 is a ubiquitous coaxial cable in daily life. An RG-6 cable usually has an impedance of 75 Ohms, which is widely used for cable television, satellite, and other professional video applications. RG-6 cables are similar to RG-59 cables and can provide better signal quality over a longer distance.
• RG-11 Cable: RG-11 cables are thick cables with low attenuation levels, meaning they can transmit radio frequency over long distances. But RG-11 cables are challenging to operate with.
• RG-58 Cable: RG-58 cables usually have an impedance of 50 or 52 Ohms. RG-8 cables are often used for short-distance Ethernet networks.
• RG-59 Cable: RG-59 also has an impedance of 75 Ohms but a thinner AWG than RG-6 cable. RG-59 cables are often found in older installations like cable modems and analog video systems. Compared to RG-6 cables, RG59 has a lower bandwidth, so it is less suitable for high-definition applications.
• RG-8 Cable: RG-8 cables have an impedance of 50 Ohms. RG-8 coaxial cables are thicker and more robust than RG58 cables, suitable for radio antennas, radio stations, and other applications that require high power.
• RG-213 Cable: RG-213 cables also have an impedance of 50 Ohms. RG-213 cables are similar to RG-8 cables and are often used for professional and amateur radio applications.
• RG-316 Cable: RG-316 cables are known for their lower signal loss and flexibility. It can be used for LAN and WAN applications.

Tip: Coaxial cables are known as Radio Frequency (RF) cables. RG stands for “Radio Guide,” once specified for military use.
