Microwave connectivity for Spacecraft

Minibend: The original "bend-to-the-end" for tight spaces: Flexible, pre-terminated coaxial cable assemblies designed for congested internal point-to-point links between RF modules. MINIBEND assemblies tolerate repeated 90° bending at the cable-connector junction. MINIBEND replaces custom semi-rigid cables with standard flexible cables, eliminating the need for pre-defined custom lengths and bend configurations.

Connectors and adapters: Our spaceflight-qualified connector portfolio has been designed for use within the most unique and challenging applications. Our wide range of state-of-the-art connector interfaces, panel mount geometries, printed circuit board (PCB) launch profiles, and customized solutions deliver unrivalled performance and robustness. Our portfolio includes the new SMP3 (the smallest connector to date), SMP-SL, SMPM-T, VITA 67, ganged multicoax and PSM.

Sucoflex300: Lightweight, high-performance cable assemblies. Delivers up to 50% weight reduction compared to conventional cable assemblies. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of spaceflight and aerospace systems, making it the go-to for customers looking for lightweight, low-loss and flexible microwave cable assemblies.

Phase-stability over temperature: The Consistent over Temperature (CT) product family for phase critical applications offers excellent phase and insertion loss stability over a broad temperature range and irrespective of tight bending.. Concomitantly, the return loss and shielding performance make these components ideal for applications where phase and thermal requirements are challenging.

Free space optical communication: Fiber lasers and amplifiers provide high power CW or modulated optical output power in the 1, 1.3, 1.5, and 2 μm bands for air-, space-born and ground based applications. The systems come as rack-mountable or OEM modules.
