Introducing Harbour’s LL335i

kpeet — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:19:12 +0000

Harbour Industries has developed a smaller, more flexible, and lighter weight version of their popular LL335 Low Loss Coax.

Technology innovations result in a cable with a reconfigured PTFE tape dielectric and improved VSWR performance from DC to 18 GHz while maintaining the same velocity of propogation.

An improved braid design exhibits the same -90 dB shielding effectiveness as the original construction.

A flexible FEP jacket reduces the overall diameter of the cable from .335″ to .300″, results in improved flexibility, and lowers the weight of the cable by 25%.

Manufacturers that have been supplying connectors for the original LL335 cable assure the same connectors may be used for the new LL335i cable.

Harbour Goes GREEN

BUY GREEN!!!! Harbour Industries continuously enhances their eco-friendly sustainable practices.

In addition to being the first high performance wire and cable company to comply with the RoHS Restriction of Hazardous Substances Standard in 2005, Harbour has taken a green initiative to the manufacturing floor on a number of levels. We have reduced greenhouse gases and VOC emissions by over 90% with the installation of regenerative thermal oxidizers. To date, Harbour is the only manufacturer of fluoropolymer insulated wire that has implemented both of these initiatives on a voluntary basis.

Harbour reduces their carbon footprint on a continuing basis by working with private and government agencies, participating in an aggressive recycling program for raw materials, and installing energy efficient lighting and reduced consumption electrical devices. In 2008, Harbour received statewide recognition having been nominated for the Governor’s Environment Award.

Small individual acts to reduce day-to-day waste are encouraged in all manufacturing areas and workstations. Recycling bins throughout the business are collected and processed daily. Harbour has been listed as a “conditionally exempt generator” because the company generates such a low amount of hazardous waste. This is remarkable for a company of Harbour’s size, as this designation is usually granted to those companies which are many times smaller in volume.

Harbour’s mission is to engage and inspire employees, customers and suppliers to follow in their “carbon reduced” footprints.

Question – Coaxial Cable Applications

jpalasciano — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 06:58:39 +0000

Although MIL-C-17 (now known as MIL-DTL-17) is a U.S. Government specification, coaxial cables are used in a wide range of military and commercial applications. See Harbour’s article: http://www.harbourind.com/images/stories/uploads/26342MPD_Article.pdf What are the largest markets or applications for MIL-DTL-17 cable?

Question Mil-C-17?

jpalasciano — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 01:57:16 +0000

Wikipedia tells us that “Coaxial cable was invented by English engineer and mathematician Oliver Heaviside, who first patented the design in 1880.” But does anybody know when and why the U.S. Government created their own “MIL-C-17” specification?
