Broadband microwave cabling in cryogenic systems requires a special combination of thermal and microwave properties. Moreover typical cryogenic setups are very confined and lead to densely-packed situations, where the form factor and flexibility of the cabling is critical.
Our Cri/oFlex® technology aims to bring a dedicated microwave solution to the cryogenic environment. By using a unique combination of polyimide and silver, we are able to construct extremely thin stripline channels with impressive microwave performance and unparalleled flexibility. We are continuously upgrading our products to provide the optimal cryogenic microwave solution for your applications. Find out more about our flexible microwave cables below!
