RF, Microwave, and mmWave Interconnect Solutions
Glenair designs and manufactures a complete range of RF, microwave, and mmWave connectors and cable assemblies for applications where performance and reliability are mission-critical. Our precision-grade RF connectors, contacts and cables support operating frequencies from DC to 60 GHz, delivering low VSWR, phase stability, and minimal insertion loss across a wide range of demanding environments.

Whether you’re developing satellite communication systems, radar and EW platforms, or avionics modules, Glenair’s military- and space-qualified RF interconnects provide proven reliability under shock, vibration, and thermal extremes. We offer standard SMA, SMP, SMPM, TNC, N-type, as well as our own signature coaxial interfaces for use in multi-port housings. Glenair is uniquely qualified to offer a complete ecosystem of RF solutions that includes hermetic feedthroughs as well as phase-matched assemblies engineered for low loss and precise electrical performance.

As a vertically integrated manufacturer, Glenair ensures rapid prototyping, full in-house cable termination, comprehensive testing, and compliance with MIL-PRF-39012, MIL-DTL-38999, and NASA/ESA space-grade standards. Our engineering teams work directly with customers to optimize RF connector and cable designs for high-density packaging, loss-budget control, and environmental sealing.
