MIL-approved Cable Product Roundup

This week’s Product Roundup highlights MIL-approved Cable from leading connector manufacturers and suppliers.

MIL-approved Cable

CDM Inc. has an extensive selection and inventory of Times Microwave Systems flexible coaxial cable conforming to MIL-C-17 specifications. MIL-C-17-spec 50-ohm coaxial cables adhere to advanced physical and dimensional requirements, including dimensional stability, eccentricity, stress-crack resistance, and raw materials contamination avoidance. MIL-C-17 specifications also require that attenuation and structural return loss (VSWR) be completely factory tested over the frequency band for which their use is recommended. Enhanced MIL-spec quality requirements avoid variances in materials or in the manufacturing process that introduce resonance peaks (spikes). Only MIL-C-17 qualified coaxial cables available from CDM Inc. should be used for military contracts.
