Cable Assembly
Precision micro coaxial cable assemblies for compact cameras, medical imaging, miniature antennas, and high-density electronic systems. Fine-pitch termination, controlled routing, and 100% electrical verification from prototype builds to volume production.
Application Context
A micro coaxial cable assembly uses a much smaller overall diameter and finer conductors than a standard coaxial build, so it fits inside miniature products such as camera modules, medical probes, wearable electronics, and compact wireless devices. The tradeoff is tighter process control during stripping, termination, and routing — delicate dielectric layers, thin shields, and very short strip dimensions leave little room for process drift. We terminate ultra-small constructions from roughly 0.2 mm to 1.37 mm cable OD, using microscope-assisted setup and fixtures suited to each cable size.
Assemblies support miniature RF and board connectors including U.FL, I-PEX MHF, MMCX, MCX, SMA transition leads, and custom board-side terminations for compact modules and embedded systems. We build single leads, bundled micro coax harnesses, and matched-length sets for camera arrays and multi-channel electronics, and verify every assembly with continuity, insulation resistance, and application-appropriate RF checks. For larger RF paths and broader connector families see our coaxial cable assembly service, and for display and imaging links that need 100 ohm pair review our LVDS cable assembly is often the closer fit.
Capabilities
Built for miniature form factors where signal integrity, routing control, and reliable termination all matter at once
We terminate ultra-small coaxial constructions used in compact electronics, wearable devices, and dense board-level interconnects. Process controls are tuned for delicate dielectric layers, thin shields, and short strip dimensions.
Assemblies support miniature RF and board connectors including U.FL, I-PEX MHF, MMCX, MCX, SMA transition leads, and custom board-side terminations for compact modules and embedded systems.
We build bundled micro coax harnesses for camera arrays, phased modules, sensor clusters, and diagnostic probes where multiple signal paths must fit through extremely tight mechanical envelopes.
For hinged displays, moving optics, and portable electronics, we select cable constructions and strain-relief methods that protect signal stability across repeated flexing and tight bend paths.
Assemblies are verified with continuity, insulation resistance, and application-appropriate RF checks. For critical programs we add insertion-loss, return-loss, and matched-length validation.
Micro coax assemblies for medical, aerospace, and compact consumer devices are processed with disciplined handling, microscope inspection, and packaging methods that protect small connectors and fragile cable geometries.
Engineering Challenges
Building process windows around small-diameter dielectric and shield structures so strip lengths, conductor exposure, and connector fit stay repeatable from first article through volume production.
Confirming 50 Ohm / 75 Ohm targets and the right verification depth — insertion-loss, return-loss, and matched-length checks — for the frequency range and path length your system needs.
Reviewing bend path, connector exit direction, retention strategy, and strain relief so assemblies fit compact products and survive repeated flexing without degrading signal performance.
Planning microscope inspection, connector cap protection, and traceable lot control to catch nicked shields, dielectric damage, and connector seating defects before release.
Technical Capabilities
Complete micro coaxial cable assembly specifications across cable sizes, connector families, and verification methods.
Manufacturing Process
Quality & Testing
Every assembly receives continuity and insulation-resistance checks as standard, with insertion-loss, return-loss, or matched-length validation added where the application requires it. Critical termination and inspection stages are completed under magnification to confirm connector seating, dielectric integrity, and shield condition before release.
Why WHP
Manufacturing discipline for miniature cable systems that leave little room for process drift
We build process windows around small-diameter dielectric and shield structures so strip lengths, conductor exposure, and connector fit stay repeatable from first article through volume production.
Critical termination steps and final workmanship checks are completed under magnification to catch nicked shields, dielectric damage, poor center-conductor prep, and connector seating defects.
Our team reviews bend path, connector exit direction, retention strategy, and cable stack-up so assemblies fit inside compact products without over-stressing the coax or degrading signal performance.
Simple continuity is not enough for every micro coax project. We tailor validation to your program with insertion-loss checks, matched-length verification, pull testing, and visual documentation when required.
We help engineering teams move from low-volume development builds into repeatable production by locking in fixtures, work instructions, and inspection criteria early in the program.
We source miniature connectors, micro coax cable, and specialty accessories through approved channels while maintaining traceability for medical, industrial, and performance-critical programs.
Micro coaxial assemblies built and documented to the workmanship and compliance standards signal-sensitive programs require.

Representative Project
Representative project type we handle, shown for illustration. Not a specific named customer.
A buyer brings a Micro Coaxial Cable Assembly program where impedance and signal integrity must be held tightly across every unit.
Signal-sensitive assemblies can fail in production when the cable target, test method, and acceptance record are not aligned before release — a specification-versus-test mismatch, not a simple operator error.
We align the cable specification, test method, and acceptance record up front, qualify samples against that agreed method, and lock the release record before volume build.
Defining the target, test method, and acceptance criteria before release keeps signal-sensitive programs out of the costly rework loop that a late spec/test mismatch creates.
