High-Precision Cabling Solutions for Medical Applications

Medical applications demand cable and connector systems that deliver uncompromising signal integrity and reliability. Our portfolio of high-performance 50-ohm coaxial cables and matching RF connectors supports applications such as imaging systems (ultrasound, CT/MRI), patient monitoring, and surgical sensing. Stable impedance control, low attenuation, and excellent shielding are essential—and these are precisely the characteristics that specialized coaxial cables are engineered to provide.

Standards, Materials, and Safety Requirements

Medical environments impose strict requirements on materials and testing. In addition to the core IEC 60601-1 standard governing electrical safety for medical devices, cable-specific regulations such as ANSI/AAMI EC53 play an important role, especially for patient-connected leads. Fire-safety compliance is equally critical: Plenum-rated (CMP) cables certified under UL 910 / NFPA 262 must pass rigorous flame-spread and smoke-density testing, while Riser-rated (CMR) cables under UL 1666 must demonstrate controlled vertical flame propagation in shafts and risers. Complementary European standards—IEC 60332 (flame spread), IEC 61034 (smoke emission), and IEC 60754-2 (halogen content)—ensure comprehensive safety performance for use in medical facilities.

Typical Applications & Your Solution

From flexible endoscopy systems and portable monitors to stationary imaging platforms, each application presents unique challenges: tight bend radii, dynamic connection points, precise impedance matching, and minimal signal reflections. Our cable and connector solutions - developed in cooperation with leading industry partners - are designed to meet these requirements reliably. In clinical environments, these coaxial systems deliver clear advantages for mobile and stationary diagnostic and monitoring equipment, particularly for high-frequency signal paths in ultrasound, endoscopy, and imaging devices. Their CMP plenum rating and low attenuation also make them ideal for installations in air-handling spaces, technical rooms, patient areas, and other locations with stringent EMC and fire-safety requirements.

Benefit from our decades of expertise in RF and coaxial technology - we support you in specifying and implementing reliable cabling and connectivity solutions for medical devices.
