RG316 50Ω Coaxial Cable with Silver-Plated Copper Shield and 13mm Minimum Bend Radius for Ultra-Flexible Applications

Product Overview

RG316 is a 50Ω coaxial cable built around a single-layer silver-plated copper braid. Its manufacturing process is centered on one-pass braiding with tight tension control, allowing the cable to achieve a carefully balanced combination of shielding coverage and mechanical flexibility.

Key Structural Differentiators

• Outer Conductor (1:SC): Single-layer silver-plated copper braid. Provides adequate electromagnetic shielding (>90% optical coverage) for standard in-house environments.

• Compact Geometry: 1.98mm over braid / 2.49mm over jacket. This slim profile ensures perfect compatibility with standard SMA, MCX, and MMCX straight crimp connectors.

• Superior Flexibility: Minimum bend radius of just 13mm allows for sharp, space-efficient cable routing in portable devices.

Functional Purpose & Applications

The single braid makes this cable lighter and more pliable, but it offers moderate screening against external interference.

Choose RG316 when:

• Routing signals inside metal enclosures (shielded by the chassis itself).

• Building general-purpose test probes and patch cords for lab benches.

• Weight reduction is critical (Drones, UAVs, portable handhelds).

• Transmitting higher-power signals (>+20dBm) where external noise coupling is less of a threat to the signal-to-noise ratio.

Why choose our RG316?

• Process know-how you can rely on – Our braiding parameters are developed to hold a stable balance between shielding coverage and flexibility, not simply to hit a nominal diameter.

• Batch-to-batch consistency – Tight spindle tension control and in-process inspection help minimize variations in braid coverage, outer diameter, and bend performance.

• Standard connector compatibility – The 2.49 mm jacket and 1.98 mm braid diameter are designed for widely available RG316 crimp connectors, reducing your assembly cost and lead time.

• Flexible customization – Available in custom lengths, pre-stripped forms, and cable assemblies with your preferred connectors.

• Application support – We help you match the right connector, stripping dimensions, and routing radius for your specific RF layout.

• Efficient delivery – The single-braid process supports stable production output for volume orders without compromising consistency.
