Fairview Microwave Introduces MIL-DTL-17 Cable Assemblies

January 18, 2019

Fairview Microwave Inc. has launched a new series of military-grade MIL-DTL-17 RF cable assemblies that are ideal for military electronics, electronic countermeasures (ECM), avionics, unmanned systems, IFF systems, GPS and SATCOM.

Fairview’s new military-grade cable assemblies feature operating frequencies of up to 12.4 GHz and VSWR as low as 1.3:1 per connector. This new product line is made up of six different cable types in 124 basic configurations for a total of more than 1,200 part numbers that are all available for same-day shipment with test reports. They are constructed of MIL-C-17 qualified cable, MIL-PRF-39012 qualified connectors, J-STD soldering and AS23053 heat shrink. These commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cable assemblies are 100 percent tested and come complete with test data, test report and material lot traceability. They are ideal for the aerospace, defense, transportation and telecommunications industries or any area where there is a high cost-of-failure.

“Being able to offer our customers 1,200 COTS cable assemblies with same-day shipping and test reports is a game changer. In the past, customers would have to wait weeks or months for cables built to these specifications and with traceability, but this entire line is ready and available immediately,” said Dan Birch, product manager.

Fairview Microwave’s new military-grade MIL-DTL-17 cable assemblies with test data are in stock and ready for immediate shipment with no minimum order quantity.
