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.
