Times is the leading source of MIL-C-17 qualified semi-rigid coaxial cable, products, holding far more QPLs (Qualified Product connectors, and cable Listings) than any other manufacturer in the world. Times assemblies for RF also helped the US Navy write the MIL-T-81490 transmission from HF through Transmission Line Specification, and is qualified to supply Microwave frequencies. microwave transmission lines that meet MIL-T-81490 TMS is committed to and MIL-C-87104 (US Air Force) requirements.

Compared to corrugated copper cables, LMR cables offer better TMS is the leader in the design, qualification, flexibility, resistance to linking, comparable attenuation, manufacture, and on-time delivery of high performance and easier connector attachment at a lower cost. cable and cable assembly products to the commercial wireless and military marketplace. In 2003, TMS was The work performed at TMS in the 60s, 70s, and selected by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics to supply the 80s forms the basis for todays high performance coaxial Broadband Airborne Cable Assemblies on the F-35 Joint cables. TMS pioneered the development of closed cell Strike Fighter (JSF). TMS was chosen to supply this low loss polyethylene foam dielectric and low loss taped solution since its high performance cable assemblies are PTFE dielectric coaxial cables. Through a thorough able to handle high-speed data in extreme understanding of transmission line theory and avionics environments including wide manufacturing processes, TMS was the first to produce variations in temperature and cables with reduced periodicity and impedance matched pressure. interfaces, resulting in the first transmission lines with low 2 (800) TMS-COAX www.timesmicrowave.com
