Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cables

Designed to transmit signals with minimum distortion and attenuation while preventing the reception of outside interference.
Axon' offers a complete range of coaxial cables :
single or double screen, triaxial cables, low noise and sub-miniature coaxial cables.
Advantages
- Low dielectric constant
- Low losses
- Flexibility
- Weight and space saving
- High temperature resistance
- Axon' can supply terminated coaxials
Construction
-
Axon' coaxial cables are made with
- Conductor :
copper covered steel, silver plated copper,
silver plated copper alloy - Dielectric :
PTFE, FEP, celloflon® (axon' patented porous PTFE) - Screen :
silver plated copper - Sheath :
PTFE, ETFE, FEP, PFA
Coaxial cables with big diameters (for example 11.30 mm)

Axon' has designed a complete range of low loss microwave
coaxial assemblies :
Axowave®, axolab®, axospec®.
They are mainly used as measurement and equipment assemblies
as well as for antennas.

- a silver plated copper braided shield, a reinforced aluminium braided shield and a FEP outer jacket.
- SMA plug, straight or swept 90°
- TNC plug, straight or swept 90°
- N plug, straight or swept 90°
- N jack, straight up to 12 GHz.

Axon' has developed picocoax® a complete range of miniature coaxial cables and harnesses for applications where a large number of signals have to be transmitted with no interference.
Advantages
- Miniaturisation : AWG 36 to AWG 46
- Good compromise between small diameter (e.g 0.20 mm) and capacitance of 50 or 100 pF/m
- High flexibility
- Good solderability
- Cables with bundles of 18 to 512 coaxials
- Interconnection systems :
- termination with different types of connectors
(circular, rectangular, U-FL,UMP, MHF, MMCX, ...)
- technologies to weld picocoax® wires directly onto
printed circuits : picoflex®, picoweld®
Construction
- Silver plated copper alloy conductor
- Dielectric : FEP or celloflon® (porous PTFE)
- Served shield (silver plated copper alloy)
- Jacket (FEP or wrapped polyester or other material on request)

Axon' Cable has developed a range of a-coax® low loss miniature coaxial cables to meet the electrical performance of the wireless protocols such as Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11, a, b or g, Ultra Wide Band and Wimax®. A-coax® coaxial cables combine the excellent dielectric properties of PTFE and air thanks to an optimised alveolar structure.
The coaxial cables make connections between electronic boards and microstrip antennas or between antennas and switches or mini PCI and wireless modules.
Advantages
- Electrical performance : a-coax® cables increase the working frequency of a coax for an equivalent Insertion loss level
- Miniaturized and light
- A-coax® is easy to process with automatic strippers
- Heat resistant (-200°C to + 260°C) thanks to the PTFE dielectric
- RoHS compliant
Construction
- Conductor : silver plated copper
- Dielectric : PTFE
- Braid : silver plated copper or tin plated copper
- Jacket : FEP
- Low loss coaxial cables can be supplied with connectors :
MHF, MMCX, SMA.

Quasiflex® is a range of hand formable cables which can replace semi-rigid cables whilst retaining similar electrical performance. They have been designed for antenna systems.
Advantages
