RF Cable Assemblies Vilvoorde: RF cable assemblies, including coaxial cable assemblies, carry radio-frequency signals between antennas, modules and instruments. The customer defines the coaxial cable, the connectors, the impedance, the length and the electrical limits; a manufacturer selected from the network builds the assemblies. Justicia Marin is a technical distributor and supplier: it coordinates the order and supplies the result, without a workshop of its own. For companies in Vilvoorde, Justicia Marin records the drawing, materials and quantities, checks the right manufacturer in its network and coordinates the supply. The production of the RF cables is done by the selected manufacturer; the customer approves the specification and the acceptance criteria.
Coaxial assemblies, defined by the signal
An RF coaxial cable assembly (also coax cable assembly or custom RF cable) combines a coaxial cable with connectors such as SMA, BNC, TNC, N-type, MCX or FAKRA. Impedance (commonly 50 or 75 ohm), cable type, connector family, length tolerance and the frequency range are all part of the specification, because the result depends on how well they match. This page covers custom RF and coaxial cable assemblies as a supply service, including single-ended, double-ended and multi-connector versions. Data and signal cables, hybrid cables and complete harnesses have their own pages. Justicia Marin does not manufacture the cables; it selects a manufacturer for the job and coordinates delivery. Electrical limits such as insertion loss or return loss are tested only where agreed in writing. Cable, connectors and termination method follow the customer’s drawing and the connector manufacturer’s data. It is not assumed that every manufacturer can build every connector family or test every frequency range.
Cable, connector and electrical limits
RF assemblies are comparable only when cable, connectors and electrical limits are described in the same way for every manufacturer. The following four decisions should be settled before the request, so that part, price and inspection describe the same result.
The customer names the coaxial cable or its required properties and the impedance. The manufacturer confirms availability and reports where a substitution would change the behaviour.
Connector family, gender, polarity and straight or angled body are shown for each end, with the termination method the connector manufacturer specifies.
Length is measured as agreed (for example connector face to connector face) and the tolerance is stated. Matched lengths or phase requirements are written into the specification.
Continuity is checked as standard practice. Insertion loss, return loss or VSWR are tested only where they are agreed in advance, with the limits and the records to be supplied.
Details for the quotation
A drawing with cable, connectors and length per item reduces the quotation to a few questions. The frequency range and any loss limits are useful from the start. If a dimension or a criterion is missing, we point it out before the request goes to the manufacturer. We do not replace the customer’s documents with assumptions that have not been approved.
Projects in Vilvoorde
Vilvoorde is a city in Flemish Region, Belgium. Industrial activity in and around the city includes metalworking, electrical equipment and machine building, which creates demand from contract manufacturers, panel builders and machine builders. The area is associated with the Flemish Brabant / Brussels Airport industrial cluster. Context: Flemish Region (Belgium). Vilvoorde lies about 110 km south of Rotterdam and about 35 km south of Antwerp. Vilvoorde has a population of about 44,000 (2018). Vilvoorde is part of the Arrondissement of Halle-Vilvoorde, within Flemish Brabant. Capital-equipment and machinery makers operate around Vilvoorde, which suits repeatable cable assemblies built to drawing. If the request comes from a company in the “metalworking” sector in Vilvoorde, the following applies: cable, connectors and electrical limits follow the specification, not the delivery address. The presence of an industry in the area does not mean that Justicia Marin has a site, production or customers there. The manufacturer is selected for demonstrated capability against the specification, not for proximity. Regional reference: Zaventem (Wikipedia).
The termination method is the one the connector manufacturer specifies for the chosen cable. Where the drawing is silent, the open point is raised.
A sample is checked by the customer in the system before the series. No batch is committed without approval.
The manufacturer checks as agreed and documents the results. Justicia Marin coordinates the records; the judgement on system performance stays with the customer.
From specification to series
We clarify cable, connectors and limits with the customer, consult manufacturers about capability, and coordinate samples and supply.
Receive the drawing
The customer sends the drawing with cable, connectors, length, limits and quantity per item.
Consult manufacturers
Justicia Marin asks manufacturers to confirm cable and connector availability, test capability and price.
Approve a sample
A sample is checked by the customer in the system before the batch is released.
Supply and repeat
The manufacturer builds the batches to the approved configuration; Justicia Marin coordinates documents and delivery.
Responsibilities
Justicia Marin is a technical distributor and coordinates the supply; it is not the workshop that carries out the production of the RF cables. We receive the drawing, consult the right manufacturer and coordinate samples, quotation and supply. The selected manufacturer works and documents the agreed inspections; the customer remains the owner of the drawing and accepts the result.
Defines cable, connectors, length and electrical limits; approves alternatives and the sample; validates the assembly in the system.
Analysis — cable, connectors and open points
Selection — manufacturer and offer comparison
Start — sample and release
Delivery — documents, revisions and delivery
The selected manufacturer builds the cables to the drawing, carries out the agreed checks, documents the results and reports before the start if a cable, connector or limit cannot be met.
Justicia Marin coordinates the supply. It has no workshop, production line or laboratory of its own and does not issue certificates. Production and the agreed tests are carried out by the selected manufacturer; the design and the final validation stay with the customer.
