What is a RF Cable?

16-07-2025

You’ve probably heard the term before – but what exactly does an RF (Radio Frequency) cable do?

In short: RF cables are designed to transmit high-frequency signals with minimal loss. They are essential for connecting antennas, modules, test equipment and more in applications such as:

- Wireless communication
- IoT devices
- GPS systems
- RF testing environments
- 5G and WiFi networks

At Summit Electronics, we provide RF cables built with high-quality materials, including:

- Silver-plated copper for optimal conductivity
- PTFE dielectric for signal stability
- Double shielding to prevent interference
- Outer jackets for durability in demanding environments

Whether you need our ERF5000, ERF5005 or a custom cable, we offer reliable solutions tailored to your needs.

We’ll soon share more about choosing the right cable type, materials, and recommended lengths for your application.

Do you have a specific RF cable question? Feel free to reach out to us!
