RG214 Cable Assembly
Custom RG214 cable assemblies for antenna feeds, defense and aerospace RF systems, and test equipment where shielding, durability, and repeatable 50 ohm performance matter.
Where RG214 Fits Best
RG214 is usually specified when the buyer needs a heavier, double-shield 50 ohm coax assembly and wants the quote built around that exact cable family instead of generic coax substitutions.
Antenna Feed Assemblies
50 ohm RF jumpers for base stations, shelters, vehicle radios, and fixed antenna runs that need stronger shielding than general-purpose coax.
Military & Aerospace RF
Programs that value repeatable impedance control, rugged connector retention, and shield performance in demanding environments.
Test & Measurement
Bench and field interconnects where cable stability, connector geometry, and lot consistency matter more than generic bulk-cable pricing.
Infrastructure Installations
Tower, cabinet, and equipment-room cable sets with labeling, sealing, and documentation matched to installation teams.
RG214 Build Parameters
These are the details that turn an RF requirement into a manufacturable RG214 assembly instead of a loose coax inquiry.
Why Buyers Split RG214 from General Coaxial Sourcing
The broader coaxial cable assembly page covers mixed RF demand across many cable families. This page is narrower. It is for engineers and sourcing teams that already know the release package calls for RG214 or a functionally equivalent double-shield 50 ohm build and need the quote to reflect that reality.
In practice, the sourcing decision is rarely about cable alone. It is about whether the finished assembly will hold its impedance, shielding, and connector integrity after routing, installation, and service handling. If the program is less sensitive to shield performance or specification lock-in, buyers may compare against RG213 cable assembly. If the requirement is really defined by the connector family or frequency envelope, our RF connector cable assembly page is often the better quoting path.

Custom RG214 Cable Assembly for Shielded 50 Ohm RF Interconnects
As a specialized RG214 cable assembly manufacturer, OurPCB builds connectorized RF cables for antenna infrastructure, communications equipment, aerospace electronics, and controlled test setups. The point of an RG214 quote is not just to attach connectors to bulk coax. It is to manufacture the assembly around the actual cable family, connector geometry, shielding requirement, and validation plan so the delivered part behaves like an engineered coaxial cable interconnect rather than a generic substitute.
Industry reference data shows why buyers separate RG214 from broad coax sourcing. Times Microwave lists RG214 as a 50 ohm cable with a typical 10.8 mm outer diameter, while Belden documents a double silvered-copper braid shield construction for RG214. That combination usually signals a heavier cable chosen for shielding performance, mechanical robustness, and specification compliance rather than convenience in tight routing.
The manufacturing work centers on process control. Large double-shield coax reacts differently than smaller RF cables when stripped, terminated, and reinforced. Connector body choice, ferrule fit, shield preparation, and strain relief all influence the finished assembly. When the program is sensitive to mismatch, we review the connector interface and target standing wave ratio requirements before release rather than pushing that risk into field installation.
Many buyers evaluating RG214 are really balancing shielding, durability, and installation effort. If the system can tolerate a more general heavy 50 ohm coax, our RG213 cable assembly page may be the better comparison. If the assembly will live in a harsher service environment, our military-spec cable assembly and waterproof cable assembly capabilities often become part of the same sourcing package.
We support RG214 builds for communications infrastructure, rugged equipment, and defense-adjacent electronics where documentation and repeatability matter. Every production lot receives electrical verification, and critical programs can add RF checks tied to the customer drawing. If you already have connector callouts, a frequency range, or a released cable specification, send them through the quote form and we will quote the assembly around the real application instead of a generic coax part number.
RG214 Cable FAQ
RG214 is commonly used for 50 ohm RF interconnects in antenna systems, communications equipment, military and aerospace electronics, and test setups that need better shielding and more rugged construction than lighter coax options.
Both are large 50 ohm coax families, but buyers usually specify RG214 when double shielding, reduced leakage, or a stricter RF cable callout is important. The correct choice depends on the drawing, connector family, frequency target, and environmental requirements rather than the name alone.
Yes. We can build RG214 assemblies with connector retention methods, labeling, jacket protection, and sealing details suited for outdoor, mobile, or equipment-bay use. Final suitability depends on the exact cable construction and connector interface specified for the program.
N-Type, TNC, BNC, UHF, and some SMA variants are common. Selection must account for cable diameter, operating frequency, mechanical loads, and whether the cable will be repeatedly mated, routed tightly, or exposed to vibration.
Yes. Standard production includes electrical verification such as continuity and polarity. For higher-risk RF programs, we can add return loss, insertion loss, or other validation tied to your acceptance criteria.
