Next Generation Lightweight RF Coaxial Cables Deliver Considerable Weight Savings

80% lighter. That’s what PIC Wire & Cable’s ® ULTRALITE UH67163 cable is compared to RG393.

With 45 years of industry-leading knowledge and engineering expertise, PIC continues to advance interconnect technology. The new ULTRALITES line is yet another innovative cable solution that is both low loss and lightweight. These 50ohm lightweight, laser markable cables also feature: 1) Better Shielding;

2) Lower Loss (Attenuation); and 3) Improved Dielectric.

Weight Savings with PIC’s ULTRALITES:

• UH67163 cable is 80% lighter than RG393

• UH22089 is 60% lighter than the similar-performing S22089

• UH44193 is 56% lighter when compared to RG142

Reducing airframe weight while increasing fuel efficiency & payload are the primary outcomes from specifying these cables. All Electrical, Mechanical, and Environmental (EWIS) Testing has also been completed.
