Selecting the right ruggedized fiber optic cables ensures the durability and performance necessary for industrial and military applications. Whether you need a pre-terminated fiber optic cable assembly for rapid deployment or a pre-assembled fiber solution for easy installation, the right choice is crucial. Harsh environment fiber optics that support high-speed data transmission will enhance the reliability of your network. Ultimately, investing in quality premade fiber optic cable assemblies guarantees long-term efficiency and operational success. You can find the right solution for your unique requirements with MilesTek’s extensive selection of industrial and military premade fiber optic cable assemblies.

In the world of professional audio and video transmission, the choice of triax cable assemblies is crucial to ensuring optimal signal integrity and performance. Among the various options available, 50-ohm and 75-ohm triax cable assemblies emerge as superior choices for transmitting audio and video signals. This blog post explores their unique benefits, particularly when equipped with TRB and TRS jack, plugs, and blunt ends.

It’s that time of the year where we unveil the champions of innovation and performance in our product lineup, the creme de la creme that made waves and turned heads throughout 2023. MilesTek proudly presents our top five bestselling product lines of the year.

These five product lines represent the workhorses of MIL-STD-1553 connectivity – the data bus couplers, terminators, plugs, cable assemblies, and connectors that keep the worlds of aerospace, avionics, and defense technology rotating. Let’s see what these essential products do and what features they have that made them bestsellers in 2023.

MilesTek keeps an inventory of thousands of products used in military avionics, aerospace, industrial, and government projects. And yet we realize that, for some of you, that’s not always enough. Sometimes you need a custom cable assembly or adapter to go outside the box to solve your challenges.

The term “military-grade” gets used a lot these days, but what does it really mean? Specifically, what are the essential qualities of military-grade Ethernet cable assemblies? We list six of them below. We conclude with information that will help you find and understand MilesTek’s offering of military-grade Ethernet cable assemblies. . .

The humble cable assembly might not be the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks about aerospace or aviation. And yet such products are critical to the success of communications and control systems used in commercial and military aircraft and satellites.

MilesTek wants to simplify the sometimes confusing experience of deciding what data bus products you need and finding them. We’ve divided our big variety of data bus cables and connectors into seven product groups below, with a link to each one. If you already know what you need, scroll down and start browsing. But if you think you might benefit from a little guidance with some of the lingo you’ll encounter in the product descriptions

When it comes to temperature extremes, Death Valley and Antarctica have nothing on outer space. A typical communications satellite must be able to withstand temperature swings of more than 250°C. That requires specially made electronics, not only for the satellite but for the equipment that tests its components before it reaches the launch pad.

Twinaxial cables feature a two-conductor twisted balanced wire line and a specific impedance, plus a shielding braid around both wires. They’re similar to coaxial cables, but, with two inner conductors instead of one.

Triaxial cables are essentially coaxial cables with an added outer copper braid (basically, a shield), which is insulated from the signal-carrying conductors. The shield is grounded and passes both ground loop and capacitive field noise currents away from the signal-carrying coax.
