Drone Cable Custom Hybrid Cable – 1 Coax RG178 + 2 Core 16AWG + 1 Coax RF1.37 | High Temperature Flexible Lightweight Design EMI resistance
Drone Cable Custom Hybrid Cable – 1 Coax RG178 + 2 Core 16AWG + 1 Coax RF1.37, High Temperature Flexible, Lightweight 2.8kg per 100m, Temperature Range -60°C to +200°C, Bend-Resistant, Non-Magnetic, Coax Cores Use SPC Stranded Conductors and Braiding Screen, 2 Power Cores: TC/FEP, Coax RG178: SPC/PTFE/SCR/FEP, Coax RF1.37: SPC/PFA/SCR/FEP, Outer Sheath: Silicone Flexible Compound Black, EMI resistance
This custom hybrid drone cable integrates one RG178 coax, two 16AWG power cores, and one RF1.37 coax into a single lightweight high-temperature assembly. Weighing only 2.8kg per 100 meters, it minimizes airborne mass while delivering comprehensive signal and power capabilities. All coax cores utilize SPC silver plated copper stranded conductors and braiding screens for non-magnetic performance essential for drone navigation systems. The two 16AWG power cores feature TC tinned copper conductors with FEP insulation for reliable power delivery. The RG178 coax employs SPC/PTFE/SCR/FEP construction for standard RF applications, while the RF1.37 coax uses SPC/PFA/SCR/FEP for enhanced performance. The black silicone outer sheath provides exceptional flexibility from -60°C to +200°C, bend resistance for tight routing, and weather resistance for outdoor UAV operations.
