Space

Frontgrade serves a variety of space applications with its helically shielded cable designs.

Achieving very low loss and improved phase stability over temperature, our lightweight cables are suited for interconnecting modules within subsystems or devices within modules and deliver best-in-class phase tracking and the industry’s lowest bending force.

Our large selection of space cable sizes and connector interfaces is offered in phase-matched and insertion-loss-matched sets with unique multi-paction-free connectors and is available with a Tefzel® radiation resistant jacket (FZ).
