StormFlex® Cables: Flexible Replacements for Semi-Rigid Coax Cables
Posted by Holly Walsh on
Flexible cable alternatives like StormFlex® are redefining possibilities in high-frequency systems. StormFlex® cables can be adapted to evolving layouts, and easily modified in the field, all without sacrificing the electrical integrity required by advanced RF applications.
In high-frequency systems, adaptability is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. Teledyne Storm Microwave’s StormFlex® series is changing the standards for semi-rigid substitutes. Unlike traditional semi-rigid coaxial cables, StormFlex® assemblies adapt to evolving layouts and allow field modifications without sacrificing the electrical integrity demanded by advanced RF applications.
StormFlex® Cables are Engineered for Real-World Extremes
StormFlex® cables aren’t designed for an easy life. They are pushed to their limits in mission-critical environments. To validate performance, Teledyne Storm Microwave uses documented, precise, and repeatable methods, measuring from 0 to 18 GHz inside a specialized mode-stirring chamber. This process agitates the cable to simulate worst-case conditions, ensuring that what performs in the lab holds true in the field.
These cables fit everything from miniature setups to rugged installations:
StormFlex® 047 – Ideal for high-frequency systems where space is at a premium.
StormFlex® 086 – Perfect for tight routing in complex layouts without compromising performance.
StormFlex® delivers near-semi-rigid RF performance while offering substantial improvements in installation speed, routing flexibility, and maintainability. In sectors where semi-rigid coaxial cables have long set the standard for electrical performance, the need for installation and design flexibility has become increasingly important. Teledyne Storm Microwave’s StormFlex® cable assemblies are engineered to address these challenges directly, offering exceptional flexibility and durability for mission-critical environments.
StormFlex® simplifies integration and future-proofs systems for evolving requirements
Designed for Modern Engineering from aerospace and defense to telecom and modular test systems, StormFlex® assemblies excel where adaptability and reliability are critical. Their ease of installation and ability to accommodate field modifications make them ideal for gimbals, high-density interconnects, and environments where time and precision matter. Engineers trust StormFlex® for a balanced combination of flexibility, electrical integrity, and durability without the drawbacks of rigid assemblies or long lead times.
