The difference between single wire and stranded wire

If you deal with the subject of cables, sooner or later you will come across the terms wire and stranded wire. But what exactly is the difference and what are the advantages and disadvantages? This article takes a closer look at the main features of wires and strands and highlights the different areas of application and their advantages.

What it’s all about:
Wire and strand usually describe the inner conductor of a cable through which electrical signals are transmitted. In order to protect the signal transmission and minimise loss over distances, this inner conductor is protected with a sheath and …

Coaxial Adapters

You can’t find the right type of connector for the type of cable that is essential for your application. Who hasn’t encountered this problem? You can easily overcome this challenge with our matching adapters. These help you to combine a wide variety of connector types so that you always have the right solution to hand.

Despite our high standards to provide all suitable connector types for every coaxial cable, it is unfortunately still possible that the availability of your desired connector on the market is limited. This is where our high-quality adapters from various manufacturers such as Telegärtner or

Breakout Box BNC to D-Sub 37pol.

Our passive signal connection box is equipped with BNC sockets as well as a 37-pin D-Sub socket. By default, the signals are all passed on 1:1 to the pins of the D-Sub connector. Signals can also be transmitted over longer distances using a suitable connection cable. The common connection via the D-Sub connector enables the connection cable to be changed quickly without having to disconnect an individual BNC connection.

We offer our breakout box in various standard versions with 6, 8, 12 or 18 BNC sockets. The connection is made via a standard D-Sub female connector or according to customer

Corrugated Cable – Cellflex®

Wellmantelkabel Cellflex

Corrugated cables with low loss properties, such as the Cellflex® variants, are usually also referred to as semi-flexible cables. In addition to a strong electrical performance, they also have an extremely robust design, which makes them ideal for applications in radio systems. Due to their PE jacket, they can also be used outdoors, where they are used for mobile phone base stations, HD TV and mobile internet, among other things.

A side effect of the special design with corrugated shielding is that this type of cable is only suitable for fixed installation. An application with frequent movement frequency is

SHV Verbinder

Coaxial HV Connectors

MHV High-Voltage Connector

Miniature coaxial high-voltage connectors are also known as MHV connectors. When mated, they have a test voltage of 5 kV rms and an operating voltage of up to 1.6 kV rms. They are also designed for applications up to 300 MHz.

MHV-connectors are based on the construction of BNC connectors, but they have protrusive insulators, what leads to a slight protection against contact of conductors under voltage in an uncoupled condition

For a maximum contact protection of uncoupled connectors, the connector series SHV is recommended.

Our complete MHV range is available via our online shop.

Koaxialkabel Aircell 5

Aircell 5 Heatex

The Aircell 5 Heatex cable is suitable for a frequency range up to 10 GHz. The RF conductor has a limited flexibility and is recommended for wireless communication applications. Unlike the Aircell 5, the Heatex has a halogen-free jacket. Moreover, this cable is certified for railroad applications according to the requirement sets R15 and R16 of the EN 45545-2 standard.

The good attenuation values are achieved by a low-loss PE dielectric medium with a gas content of more than 70%, as well as by the inner conductor and the double shielding from pure copper.

Areas of application: Communications and …
