Times Microwave Systems designs and manufactures
high performance coaxial cables, connectors and
cable assemblies for a broad range of RF transmission
applications. For more than 50 years, Times has
been the leader in the development of new cable
technologies to meet the demands of evolving RF
and microwave applications. This technological
manufacturing and application leadership continues
today.
Since its inception, Times has been dedicated to the
improvement of coaxial cable technology and the
development of new and innovative cable products to
address the increasingly rigorous demands placed on
RF transmission products.
The expertise that provided cable solutions for the
demanding requirements of airborne electronic
systems and led the way in the development of low
smoke
cables for shipboard applications is now yielding high
performance cables to meet the needs of the wireless
communications market with Times LMR low loss
