RFS opens automated production line for wireless jumper cables
RFS has a long history of successful technological innovations, starting with the invention of seam welded, corrugated coaxial cables. Today, the company’s line of factory-fit jumper cables are field proven and widely regarded as the backbone of wireless antenna systems. RFS jumper cables are setting standards globally, thanks to a fully industrialized manufacturing process during which purpose-built connector parts are soldered onto RFS’ state-of-the-art foam dielectric coaxial cables. RFS’ well-controlled process achieves excellent product quality across the whole chain, further validated by 100% final testing and outstanding customer feedback.
The new Hannover production line adds a high level of automatization to the process, increasing throughput and capacity without sacrificing any of the quality criteria that RFS is known for. High-performance RF jumpers made of RFS’ low loss LCF or RFS’ superflexible SCF half-inch cables will be produced on the new line as complete assemblies (including both cable and connectors). They will go through the same rigorous testing process as all RFS products for quality assurance.
“This investment in RFS’ manufacturing capacity allows us to meet our customers’ needs more quickly and addresses the high demand for RFS’ jumper cables,” said Jacques Schaffnit, RFS president. “Instead of farming this production work out of Europe to countries with lower manufacturing costs, we invested in our own manufacturing capabilities at home – close to our customers. Here, we know we can maintain the integrity of our best-in-class jumper with all its highly valued features preserved.”
