Application Context

What makes a telecom wire harness different

A telecom cable assembly is judged on signal integrity, not just continuity. RF feeder and jumper runs have to hold impedance, keep insertion loss low and control PIM, while Ethernet and high-speed data runs have to reject EMI and crosstalk over distance. On top of that, most of this hardware lives outdoors — on a rooftop, up a tower or in a curbside enclosure — so the same harness needs UV-stable jackets and IP67 sealing to survive a -40°C to +85°C environment for years. That combination of electrical and environmental demand is why telecom harnesses use low-loss coax, validated RF connectors and tested terminations rather than general-purpose wire.

Across a network the wiring changes job at every layer: low-loss RF jumpers where the 5G radio meets the antenna, LMR-style and semi-rigid feeders on the tower, micro-coax for multi-gigabit fronthaul and board-to-board links, shielded twisted-pair and RJ45 / M12-D Ethernet inside switching and edge nodes, and PoE harnesses out to customer-premise equipment. We build all of these as custom, pre-terminated, in-house-tested assemblies. For RF feeder and jumper paths we draw on our coaxial cable assembly service; for tight, high-speed links our micro-coaxial cable assembly line; and where automotive-telematics interfaces appear, our FAKRA cable assembly service.

  • Indoor & outdoor variants
  • Strain-relieved overmolds

Engineering Challenges

Review risk before production

01

Signal Integrity & PIM

Impedance control, low insertion loss and controlled PIM on RF feeder and jumper runs, verified so the harness does not become the weak link between radio and antenna.

02

Outdoor & Tower Durability

UV-stabilized jackets, corrosion-resistant connectors and IP67 sealing rated -40°C to +85°C for rooftop, tower-mount and outdoor-enclosure exposure.

03

Connector Reliability

Factory-terminated SMA, N-type, FAKRA and RJ45 / M12-D contacts — crimped, torqued and tested in-house so no terminations are made in the field.

04

Testing & Verification

Each RF assembly is verified for impedance and loss, with foil-plus-braid or double-braid shielding to limit leakage and crosstalk on antenna-feeder and jumper runs.

Why WHP

Why choose our telecom wire harness services

RF-engineered cable assemblies built for 5G and next-generation network infrastructure.

RF Signal-Integrity Engineering

Assemblies are built for low insertion loss, high return loss and controlled PIM. We hold 50 Ω (and 75 Ω) impedance and verify it, so the harness does not become the weak link between radio and antenna.

Outdoor & Tower-Grade Durability

UV-stabilized jackets, corrosion-resistant connectors and IP67 sealing withstand years of rooftop, tower-mount and outdoor-enclosure exposure across a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Coax, Fiber & Ethernet Under One Roof

From LMR-style RF coax and micro-coax to shielded twisted pair and PoE Ethernet, mixed-signal telecom looms are built and tested as one assembly instead of being split across vendors.

FAQ

Telecom wire harness FAQ

What RF frequency range do your telecom cable assemblies support?
Our RF coax assemblies are built and tested for frequencies up to 6 GHz and beyond, covering sub-6 GHz 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi and most antenna-feeder and base-station bands. We hold 50 Ω impedance (75 Ω where required) and select low-loss coax and connectors so insertion loss and PIM stay within your link budget.
Which connectors do you terminate for telecom and RF harnesses?
For RF we factory-terminate SMA, N-type, FAKRA, and MCX/MMCX connectors; for data and power we terminate RJ45 and M12-D Ethernet, plus PoE-capable power contacts. All terminations are crimped, torqued and tested in-house, so installers do not field-terminate connectors on a tower or in an enclosure.
Are your assemblies rated for outdoor base-station and tower use?
Yes. We use UV-stabilized outdoor jackets and IP67-rated sealed connectors built to survive years of rooftop, tower-mount and outdoor-enclosure exposure, rated across a -40°C to +85°C range. This is what 5G small-cell, macro-radio and antenna-feeder runs require.
What cable types do you work with — coax, fiber or Ethernet?
All three. We build low-loss RF coax (LMR-style, RG-types and semi-rigid), micro-coax for high-speed data, single- and multi-mode fiber assemblies, and shielded twisted pair / Ethernet. Mixed-signal telecom looms can combine RF, data and PoE power in a single tested assembly.
Can you build micro-coax assemblies for high-speed data?
Yes. We terminate tight-tolerance micro-coax for multi-gigabit board-to-board and inter-module links where space and bend radius are constrained. See our micro-coaxial cable assembly service for connector, pitch and routing detail that is usually too specific for a broad telecom RFQ.
What standards do your telecom harnesses meet?
Assemblies are manufactured to IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2/3 workmanship under our ISO 9001 quality system, built to RoHS material requirements and to the telecom EMC targets your equipment must meet. IPC/WHMA-A-620 and ISO 9001 are held in-house; other telecom and EMC standards are met as build-to customer and industry requirements.
How do you keep PIM and insertion loss under control?
We select low-loss dielectrics and low-PIM connectors, control impedance through the build, and verify each RF assembly. Foil-plus-braid or double-braid shielding limits leakage and crosstalk, and torque-controlled, tested terminations prevent the contact issues that drive PIM on antenna-feeder and jumper runs.
What is your MOQ and lead time for telecom projects?
We support prototypes from 1–10 pieces with 7–10 day sample lead times, scaling to production batches (typically 500+ units, negotiable). This lets network and equipment teams validate an RF or Ethernet harness on real hardware before committing to volume, at a high first-pass yield.
