Re-Flex™ Starter Kits are available in a range of assembly lengths to facilitate prototype system builds

Insulated Wire Inc, are innovative specialists in the manufacture of microwave cable and cable assemblies, Re-Flex™ is their premier flexible coaxial cable, designed to provide improved electrical and mechanical performance over traditional hand-formable designs.

Re-Flex™ flexible coaxial cables are the premier choice for projects demanding high durability, versatility, and exceptional performance in challenging conditions. The Re-Flex™ range offer the perfect coaxial cable solution tailored to customer specific requirements, ensuring optimal results for most applications.
The Re-Flex™ series is available in diameters of RF085, RF141, RF250, and RF325, each benefiting from a unique lamination process and robust double shield construction. These cables feature a solder-free tin/alloy plated outer braid, ensuring resilience against micro-fractures through repeated flexing, thus eliminating common manufacturability issues found in similar RG cables.

Re-Flex™ cables support a vast array of connector types and styles, such as SMA, TNC, N, SMP, SMPM, and more, delivering exceptional performance up to 60GHz. Specifically, the RF250 series is designed for high-power applications, offering compatibility with a wide selection of connectors to meet diverse project requirements.

Re-Flex™ assemblies are designed to seamlessly replace semi-rigid or conformable cable types, featuring an FEP™ jacket as a standard option to enhance versatility across applications. For ease of selection, cable part numbers include TPRFEP085, TPRFEP141, and TPRFEP250, catering to a broad spectrum of design needs.
Insulated Wire offers Re-Flex™ Starter Kits with options of CT-1879, CT-1880, and CT-1881, each providing a range of assembly lengths to facilitate prototype system builds. These kits underscore the adaptability and user-friendly nature of Re-Flex™, promoting efficient signal path and layout changes without the drawbacks of traditional coaxial solutions. The ability to continually re-form Re-Flex™ without the need for custom tooling to shape the cable, and the elimination of debris caused by micro fracturing is a key feature of the Re-Flex™ cable design, and enables the designer to make signal path/layout changes without having to throw product away after using it once.
