Semi-Rigid Microwave Assemblies

Scott Cables have been manufacturing semi-rigid RF cable assemblies for many years,
we have a fully equipped tool room so that specialist jigs and fixtures can be made in-house,
reducing both cost and lead-time — supplying cables through our partnership with EZ Form.

Approved Supplier for EZ Form

Scott Cables have formed an agreement with EZ Form Cable to promote their extensive range of Semi-Rigid, Hand Formable and Flexible RF Cable products across Europe.

Scott Cables have been manufacturing semi-rigid RF cable assemblies for many years and have a fully equipped tool room so that specialist jigs and fixtures can be made in-house, reducing both cost and lead-time. With a dedicated tool room, programmable Thermo-cycling Chamber, Cable Forming Machines, Clean Room Facility and VNA test equipment, our facilities enable us to produce comprehensive Semi-Rigid Assemblies.

Semi-Rigid RF Cable Assemblies

A semi-rigid RF cable assembly is made using a special type of coaxial cable that is pliable enough to be bent into custom shapes but rigid enough to hold its shape once formed. Forming a semi-rigid RF cable is a difficult process and should only be performed by skilled operators using specialist tooling to prevent damage to wall of the cable when bending.
