Ultra-Lightweight 50Ω RF Coaxial Cables for Aerospace & Defense
Every pound matters at altitude. GIGAFLIGHT’s GIGALite™ XLite is our ultra-lightweight 50Ω coaxial cable series, engineered for aerospace and avionics applications where weight budgets are critical and performance demands are absolute. XLite cables build on the trusted GIGALite foundation by offering flexible, low-loss, and high-temperature rated cables. They deliver a significantly reduced weight footprint through advanced conductor and shield materials.
The XLite series is ideal for engineers, OEMs, and MROs looking to reduce cable weight without creating new design approval burdens. Each cable is designed as a suitable alternative to commonly specified ultra-lightweight coax, simplifying substitution and keeping your program on schedule.
Giving You New Lightweight Options
The GIGALite XLite series achieves its weight advantage through a purposeful material selection strategy. Silver-plated, copper-clad aluminum (SPCCA) and copper-clad steel (SPCCS) conductors and braid replace heavier conventional copper, while the dual-shield architecture ensures shielding effectiveness greater than -110dB across the frequency range.
Low-density PTFE dielectric and a white, laser-markable ETFE jacket complete a construction that is built light and built to last. They are built for the demands of modern avionics systems. All XLite cables are tested in accordance of MIL-DTL-17.
Connectors
GIGAFLIGHT also offers 50 ohm coax connectors designed to perform in demanding environments.
Additional Jacket Colors for Special Applications
If your 50 ohm coaxial low-loss cable application requires a specific jacket color, GIGAFLIGHT can do that. Contact us for cable availability.
