High performance RF cables by the metre with no MOQ
Lane Electronics, provider of electrical and electronic interconnection solutions, can now provide HUBER+SUHNER’s industry leading high performance RF Enviroflex and SPUMA coaxial cables in any length from just a metre and with no minimum order quantity (MOQ)

ccording to Lane’s managing director Simon Hammerton, the availability in such short lengths and quantities makes the cables ideal for evaluation, trials, prototyping and low volume production runs. Typical applications for these cable
products include fixed and mobile communications, transport including railways, aerospace and defence, test and measurement, medical and general industrial. “Until now, customers wanting to use HUBER+SUHNER’s RF cable products have been obliged to purchase longer lengths and adjust them to suit their application. Our new service, fully supported by HUBER+SUHNER, allows them to specify exactly what they require,” Simon Hammerton says. “In addition to the HUBER+SUHNER RF cables themselves,” says Hammerton. “We
will soon be offering RF cable assemblies along the same lines. Once we have installed new production equipment and completed staff training, we will offer cable assemblies from a metre in any quantity.” Enviroflex cables are halogen-free and contain no fluorine-based plastics either in the dielectric or the jacket. The dimensions of the cable exactly meet international RG standards meaning Enviroflex RF cables are suitable for use with all standard RF connectors. HUBER+SUHNER’s Spuma cables
feature extremely low loss levels and are designed for applications up to 6GHz. With a screening effectiveness of better than 90dB over the whole operating frequency range and a tight bending radius, they are suited to a wide range of high performance application. Lane Electronics is an ideal source for all key connector types including circular,
filtered, RF, coaxial, sub – miniature, backshells and adaptors, D connectors, aerospace, test & measurement, IDC, PCB connectors, edge connectors and connectors for rack and panel applications. Lane Electronics Ltd – also widely known as FC Lane Electronics Ltd – is part of the Lodge Group which includes high reliability circular and military connector manufacturer Weald Electronics. Lane Electronics is a franchised distributor for many of the industry’s

olex is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of power products and interconnect solutions boasting
10 factories around the globe, producing products including leading edge high speed copper cables, Electric Vehicle cables, custom harnesses, as well as the traditional power cord. John Morath, managing director of GTK, states, “We believe that Volex shares GTK’s values and strategic vision for its customers and markets, with robust commitment to quality and service.

technology to its display product range. E-Paper technology provides a low-cost, flexible display with wide viewing angles and good sunlight readability. Its standout feature is that it retains the image on the screen without using power, making it ideal for a wide range of consumer electronic applications.
The GTK range is available in three sizes: 1.54”, 2.13” and 2.9” graphic modules. These modules show black text or images on a white background and have an operating temperature range of 0 - 50° C. Clive Dickinson, business manager for displays at GTK, states, "E-Paper technology has been around for longer than most people think. The first iteration of this technology was created in the 1970s but it's only in the last decade that people have been aware of it, when it started being built into consumer products such as e-readers, wearable electronics, retail price labels and digital signage.” "E-Paper technology is perfect in applications where the display needs to be on for extended periods of time and

the screen doesn’t need updating very often. This is a fairly low-level technology in terms of display design but it is ideally suited for specific applications and has an attractive price point, compared to alternative display technologies."
GTK has an extensive range of display technologies and its technical experts can assist OEM customers with display selection and design, and interconnect options to connect the display to the PCB.
