Introduction
Radio-frequency (RF) communication plays an increasingly important role in modern technology.
Game-changing technologies like 5G and critical national security applications in the military and
aerospace sectors rely on RF as the technological backbone of modern communication.
The world depends heavily on RF communication, making signal integrity and reliability non-
negotiable. RF cables serve as crucial components in ensuring effective and reliable signal
transmission. However, engineers often need help to select the suitable RF cable that meets
all the needs of a given use case.
This ebook examines why custom RF cables frequently outperform off-the-shelf and DIY
cables. Whether you have years of experience as an engineer or are new to RF design, this
guide will help you make informed decisions about your RF cabling needs.
