Amphenol RF’s high-flex RG-58 cable assemblies are designed for applications where cables are exposed to constant movement, repeated bending, and tight routing conditions. Built to maintain stable RF performance under dynamic use, these assemblies support frequencies up to 3 GHz with a 50-ohm impedance, making them suitable for reliable signal transmission in demanding environments.

Available in BNC-to-BNC, TNC-to-TNC, and N-Type-to-N-Type configurations, the assemblies provide practical connectivity options for engineers, system integrators, test technicians, and equipment manufacturers. They can be used to connect antennas, RF test equipment, communication devices, and industrial systems that require dependable signal integrity and mechanical durability.

These cable assemblies are particularly valuable in industries such as industrial automation, telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and RF testing. In robotic systems and automated production lines, they support continuous cable movement while maintaining electrical consistency. In laboratory environments, they simplify connections between test instruments and RF components. Communication system designers can also use them to build stable signal paths between transmitters, receivers, and antennas.

The performance of these assemblies is driven by the RG-58 cable construction, which features a fine-wire stranded copper center conductor and a tinned copper braid shield. This design improves flexibility and durability while preserving shielding effectiveness and signal stability during repeated flexing. The cable’s tight bend radius also makes installation easier in compact or complex setups where space is limited.

Offered in standard lengths from 12 inches to 3 meters, the assemblies accommodate both short-range and extended connection requirements. With their combination of flexibility, durability, and consistent RF performance, Amphenol RF’s high-flex RG-58 cable assemblies provide a practical solution for motion-intensive applications where reliable connectivity is critical.
