Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cables are essential wherever reliable high-frequency signal transmission is critical to the performance of the overall system. As frequencies increase and system designs become more compact, factors such as impedance stability, low attenuation, shielding effectiveness, and mechanical durability become increasingly important. Even small variations in cable construction can significantly influence signal quality, electromagnetic compatibility, and long-term reliability.
We recommend considering a custom coaxial cable whenever electrical performance, installation constraints, or demanding operating environments place specific requirements on the cable. Habia develops coaxial cables by optimizing conductor design, dielectric materials, shielding concepts, material selection, and cable geometry to achieve the ideal balance between signal integrity, mechanical robustness, and long-term reliability. The result is a cable solution engineered to deliver stable electrical performance, low transmission losses, and dependable operation throughout its service life.

Insulation and Jacket Materials for Coaxial Cables
Selecting the right insulation and jacket material is essential to the electrical and mechanical performance of a coaxial cable. The dielectric material directly influences impedance stability, signal attenuation, propagation velocity, and frequency performance, while the jacket material determines mechanical durability, flexibility, and environmental resistance. Drawing on decades of expertise in high-frequency cable engineering, Habia selects the optimum material combination to meet the specific electrical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental requirements of each application.
