Innovative Solutions in Microwave Cable Manufacturing

Insulated Wire Inc. (IW), a leader in microwave cable and cable assembly manufacturing, will participate in the AOC Europe 2026 show from May 19-21 in Helsinki, Finland. They will be joined by CCC Solutions, their agent for the Nordic countries, and Castle Microwave from the U.K. IW specializes in a broad array of coaxial cables, including extreme low-loss cables, the Re-Flex™ series of hand-formable cables, and high RF power coaxial cables. These products cater to a multitude of applications such as defense, aerospace, telecommunications, Satcoms, medical, and oil and gas sectors.

The Association of Old Crows (AOC) Europe presents a significant platform for engagement among military, industrial, and academic leaders focusing on electromagnetic warfare (EW) technologies and equipment. With approximately 12,000 members globally, the AOC serves as a professional non-profit association committed to education, connection, and advocacy for the EW and spectrum operations community. They have several committees that contribute to achieving the organization’s mission in support of its members.

IW’s product line includes flexible and semi-rigid coaxial cables, as well as custom composite cables. They provide options for high-frequency applications up to 110 GHz and offer non-RF wire types down to 33 AWG. Each product is designed for optimal performance in high-quality applications, with the company also willing to supply bulk shipments alongside customer-specific assemblies.

Attendees at the IW booth will have access to four new product brochures, showcasing:

– The High Power Microwave Products catalogue, which features solutions for both defense and commercial markets, encompassing a variety of applications such as telecommunications, UAVs, avionics, and medical electronics.
– The Re-Flex™ Cable Catalogue, highlighting this innovative range of flexible coaxial cables, which provide enhanced electrical and mechanical performance compared to traditional designs. The Re-Flex™ series is manufactured using a unique lamination process and robust double shield construction, making it resilient against micro-fractures from repeated flexing.
– The Standard and Custom Wire Brochure, introducing the LOG-Spec PTFE insulated cable, designed for high versatility and reliability in the oil well logging industry. This cable employs IW’s patented coaxial design paired with expanded PTFE dielectric cores for efficient transmission lines.
– The latest short-form catalogue, which gives an overview of the complete product offerings, featuring low-loss/phase-stable, RE-FLEX, semi-rigid coax, and non-RF products.

With a solid global customer base, IW has established expertise in high-power applications. Their ultra-low loss coaxial cable and assembly products are designed for reliable transmission of high RF power levels, serving critical applications such as EMC/EMI testing, rapid microwave de-frosting, semiconductor manufacturing, and defense systems.
