HSI

High Speed Interconnects (HSI) is a leading American company which extrudes and assembles high-performance coaxial cable, exceeding today's signal integrity requirements. HSI’s low-loss, low-capacitance, phase-stable, coaxial interconnect solutions are available in a variety of cable constructions, which include circular and micro coaxial connector terminations down to 0.3 mm pitch; and fine wire, direct-to-board terminations down to 0.175 mm.

HSI is one of a few custom global manufacturers extruding its own high-performance coaxial cable and expanded PTFE (VP90). HSI’s custom coaxial cable assemblies range from 16 to 52 AWG and are available in a variety of configurations such as; single coax, twinax, triax, quadax, shielded parallel pairs, shielded twisted pairs, differential pairs, and other multi-conductor solutions. HSI’s coaxial cables are processed using solid, foamed, and expanded PTFE (VP90) dielectrics — offering cable assemblies in discrete, ribbonized, or multiconductor (bundled) constructions.

Micro Coaxial Cable Assemblies

HSI extrudes and manufactures a wide range of high-performance point-to-point interconnect solutions used on PCB's, and/or other low profile termination points required to carry critical signals.

These custom, high-performance micro coaxial cable assemblies are designed and assembled using fine connector pitches for applications ranging from DC to 70 GHz; or without connectors for direct board terminations as small as 0.175 mm pitch. With no minimum order quantities, both small and large custom orders are accepted for custom lengths, wire gauges, connector types, EMI/RFI shielding, and cable jacket types.

• Available with IPEX, Murata, MMCX's, SSMA's, SSMP's board level connectors

• Direct to board attachment available down to 0.175mm pitch

• Wide range of connector configurations, including MHF to SMA connectors, SMA to MMCX, MHF to MHF connectors, and G4PO to SMA connectors

• Lead times of less than one week for most custom configurations

Discrete, Multi-conductor, Micro Coaxial Cable Assemblies

HSI designs and manufactures discrete and multi-conductor micro coaxial cable assemblies for avionics, LVDS displays, GPS antennas, and surveillance systems with operating frequencies from DC to 8 GHz. HSI’s micro coaxial cable solutions are extruded and manufactured to specific requirements using a combination of MHF (IPEX), U.FL (Hirose) and SMA connectors. These discrete, multi-conductor, micro coaxial cable assemblies can handle the most complex power and RF/microwave signals, with typical insertion loss of less than 3 dB through 6 GHz. 

• Manufactured to exacting AS9100 and IPC-620 standards

• Outstanding EMI/RFI characteristics

• Terminate MHF (IPEX), U.FL (Hirose) and SMA connectors 

• Factory certified by Hirose, IPEX, and JAE

• Low loss coaxial cable; low insertion loss (<3 dB through 6 GHz)

Bundled, Multi-conductor, Micro Coaxial Cable Assemblies

HSI extrudes and terminates endless coaxial cable constructions (i.e: coaxial, twin-ax, twisted-pair cables, messenger wires, and power hybrid) which exceed today's complex interconnect requirements. Our micro coaxial connector capabilities range from 32-48 AWG, and are bundled into dense cable constructions with up to 1,500+ conductors while preserving coaxial cable impedance and capacitance performance. HSI micro coaxial cable assemblies can be terminated to a variety of high-performance connectors, flexible circuits, and PC boards as fine as 0.175 mm pitch.

HSI’s bundled, multi-conductor, micro coaxial cable assemblies are ideal for medical imaging systems, measurement systems, transportation, robotics, displays, and a wide range of industrial applications. ​

Ribbonized, Multi-conductor, Micro Coaxial Cable Assemblies​

Ribbonized, matched impedance MICTOR™ multi-conductor cable assemblies from HSI help stream high-speed data and other signals into dense places, which meet performance demands of modern high-speed servers and networks.

Based on 34 AWG through 38 AWG gauge cables, the ribbonized construction improves skew caused by conductor length differences. The ribbonized cables are available as 50-Ohm flexible cable assemblies (100-Ohm differential pairs) featuring tightly controlled impedance throughout the connectors, cables, and interconnections for high signal integrity (SI) and optimum bit-error-rate (BER) performance. HSI’s MICTOR™ multi-conductor cable assemblies are available in 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm pitch versions, and are designed to combine ease of installation with outstanding electrical performance for today’s high-end servers and networks, telecommunications systems, and high-performance test equipment.

• Available in 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm pitch versions

• 34 AWG to 38 AWG cables

• Consistent performance with repeated mating/unmating cycles

• Low-profile assemblies require minimum clearance in tight systems

• Matched impedance for exceptional signal integrity

​Semi-Rigid Coaxial Cable Assemblies 

HSI offers highly reliable, high-performance semi-rigid low-loss coaxial cable assemblies. Semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies are suitable for communication systems and test equipment setups and are available in standard and custom lengths, and phase-matched for demanding commercial, industrial, and military requirements. All of HSI’s semi-rigid coaxial cable assemblies are constructed with solid center conductors, PTFE dielectric, and tin-plated or silver-plated jacket materials. Based on a number of different cable diameters, including 0.047, 0.086, 0.118, and 0.141 in. cables, these affordable semi-rigid cable assemblies are formed to precise requirements using state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.
