Looking to save on weight and labor with cable alternatives? GIGAFLIGHT has exactly what you need.
Our low-loss, high-performance 50Ω coaxial cable, GF5-36T-1, is the next-generation alternative to our GF5-36T, as well as Carlisle’s 310801 and PIC’s S22089. With identical electrical performance, similar materials, strip dimensions, tooling, and connector compatibility, it’s designed for seamless integration.
GF5-36T-1 vs GF5-36T/310801/S22089
What sets the GF5-36T-1 apart is its white, laser-markable fluoropolymer jacket, which offers significant weight savings and eliminates the need for heat shrink labels. The jacket also provides a smaller outer diameter and tighter bend radius, making it even more efficient and easier to work with.
Weight Savings Comparison
| Cable | lbs/1000ft | Savings |
| GF5-36T-1 | 153.0 | – |
| GF5-36T | 170.0 | 10% |
| 310801 | 190.0 | 19% |
| S22089 | 180.0 | 15% |

Common applications for alternative GF5-36T, Carlisle 310801, and PIC S22089:
- Aerospace and Avionics: It is commonly used in aircraft systems for signal transmission, including navigation, communication, and radar systems. Its lightweight and flexible design make it ideal for installations in confined spaces.
- Defense and Military: The cable is suitable for military communication systems, antennas, and radar equipment due to its high-frequency performance, low loss, and resistance to harsh environments.
- RF and Microwave Applications: It supports frequencies up to 12 GHz, making it well-suited for RF and microwave signal transmission in critical systems.
- Satellite and Ground Systems: Used in satellite communications and ground control stations, where high-reliability signal transmission is essential.
- Electronic Warfare and Surveillance: Its low-loss, high-shielding performance is advantageous in electronic warfare and surveillance systems.
- Its low-loss characteristics, resistance to harsh environmental factors, and compliance with MIL-C-17 standards make it versatile for a wide range of demanding applications.
The connectors used for the GF5-36T-1 are interchangeable with the GF5-XX36T series connectors, Carlisle’s XXX022 series connectors, and PIC’s 194XX series connectors.
GF5-36T-1 is designed to be resistant to Skydrol, will meet RoHS & REACH requirements, meets Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR part 25.869, Appendix F part I (a)(3), and has been tested in accordance with MIL-DTL-17.
