Miniature, micro-miniature, and ultra micro-miniature coaxial cable from New England Wire meets the demanding requirements of the medical and industrial world with custom options for the center conductor, dielectric, shield, and jacket. Examples include high strength alloy conductors for superior flex life and foamed dielectrics for reduced size and attenuation. By utilizing high quality low dielectric constant materials, we are able to reduce size without sacrificing signal integrity. In addition, we can combine multiple coaxes with other components into larger composite cable.
