The EZ line of one-piece coaxial compression connectors for mini-RG-59 cable is compatible with all major domestic and import 23/24 AWG cables, and accommodates a wide range of conductor, dielectric, and cable tolerances. These 75-Ω connectors, available in F, BNC and RCA, straight, and right-angle designs, are especially suited for security, audio/video, and home theater applications. For higher performance applications, such as broadcast and CATV, a line of one-piece connectors are compatible with mini-RG-59, RG-59, and RG-6 precision video cables.

SMA hand-formable cable assemblies for RF/microwave applications are an alternative to semi-rigid cables. Featuring Johnson connectors on each end, they are constructed of a silver-plated, copper-covered steel conductor with an additional copper-tin composite braid foil. According to the company, the cables provide 100% shielded coverage designed for outstanding voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and lower insertion loss up to 18 GHz. In-stock and customized lengths are available.
