Rugged, Cost-effective RF Cable Assemblies –
When Down-time is Not an Option

The Warrior cable, with internally armored GrooveTube® technology, is a field proven design having seen reliable
operation in modern combat zones. The cable will provide long term repeatable performance in the extreme operating conditions associated with electronic countermeasures, electronic warfare and multiple types of field deployed
communication systems. In addition to withstanding rugged field handling it provides lasting stability under vibration
and flexure, and features excellent shielding effectiveness to avoid conflict with adjacent signals. Warrior cables are
also employed in commercial factories where tough handling or other factory conditions demand dependable long
term performance. These cables offer many commercial benefits in rugged test and measurement applications where
failures can lead to costly and untimely consequences.

All Warrior cable assemblies are tested
100% for S-Parameters and each assembly
is serialized. Standard test data includes
VSWR and insertion loss. Additional testing
options will be quoted upon request. Full
traceability is available for each cable assembly.
