- Re-Flex™ assemblies can be employed wherever a semi-rigid or conformable cable type is currently used
- Re-Flex™ Starter Kits are available in a range of assembly lengths to facilitate prototype system builds
Insulated Wire Inc, innovative specialists in the manufacture of microwave cable and cable assemblies, presents Re-Flex™, their premier brand of flexible coaxial cables, 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.
In addition to internally ruggedised cables IW has a wide range of materials and processes to protect their cable assemblies. These include a variety of metallic and non-metallic external sheaths to meet customer’s requirements.

About Insulated Wire:
Founded in 1970, IW developed a unique PTFE lamination process and applied it to manufacturing wire and cable. This process allowed IW to manufacture products of unprecedented reliability along with smaller diameters. Combining the new lamination process along with a patented shield design allowed IW to become one of the leaders in low loss microwave transmission lines, utilizing both solid and expanded PTFE dielectrics. In 1988, IW expanded its operations and created a Microwave Products Division.
