Overview
AWG36–AWG46 Very Fine Micro Coaxial Cable Series is designed for compact RF modules, sensors, medical devices, precision instruments, miniature electronics, and internal signal connections where extremely small cable size and stable 50Ω signal transmission are required.
This product family includes ultra-fine coaxial cable options from AWG36 to AWG46. Compared with standard RF coaxial cable, these micro coaxial cables are designed for space-limited equipment and fine internal wiring, while still providing controlled impedance, shielding, insulation performance, and flexible routing for compact electronic systems.
This page is intended for product selection. Exact specifications should be confirmed by AWG size, outside diameter, conductor resistance, insulation material, shielding structure, jacket material, allowable current, operating temperature, cable length, connector or termination requirement, and project drawing before ordering.
