RF-Over-Coax Solutions Designed to Go The Distance

Long-Length RF-Over-Coax Solutions for Emerging High-Speed Interconnect Architectures

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, hyperscale computing, and high-performance GPU clusters is reshaping the physical infrastructure requirements inside modern data centers.

As signaling speeds continue pushing beyond 100 Gbaud and compute platforms scale to unprecedented densities, system architects are confronting the limitations of traditional short-reach copper interconnects while balancing the cost, complexity, and integration challenges associated with optical links.

This shift is creating strong demand for a new class of high-frequency RF-over-coax interconnect solutions capable of delivering extended reach, stable insertion-loss behavior, high shielding effectiveness, and repeatable electrical performance across increasingly complex AI and hyperscale computing environments.

ConductRF supports this emerging market with long-length, high-frequency RF cable assemblies engineered for advanced AI data-center and hyperscale computing platforms.

With more than 25 years of experience manufacturing precision RF and microwave interconnect solutions for mission-critical aerospace, defense, telecom, industrial, and test-and-measurement applications, ConductRF brings the engineering discipline, manufacturing consistency, and high-frequency expertise required for next-generation compute infrastructure.

Supporting the Evolution of AI Interconnect Infrastructure

The architecture of AI data centers continues evolving rapidly.

Modern GPU clusters and accelerator-rich systems require higher bandwidth, tighter signal integrity control, and longer interconnect distances between processing modules, switching hardware, storage systems, and rack-level compute resources.

While traditional copper solutions remain effective for many applications, designers are increasingly exploring RF-over-coax architectures for environments requiring:

• Extended reach beyond conventional direct-attach copper limitations
• Stable and repeatable S21 insertion-loss performance
• Controlled impedance and predictable channel behavior
• High shielding effectiveness in dense compute environments
• Low crosstalk and improved signal isolation
• Ruggedized cable construction for deployment and serviceability
• Precision high-frequency connector interfaces
• Rapid prototyping and scalable manufacturing support

ConductRF works directly with customers developing advanced compute and interconnect systems to support these evolving requirements through custom RF cable assembly solutions optimized for signal integrity, mechanical integration, and repeatable high-frequency performance.

Long-Length High-Frequency RF Cable Assemblies

ConductRF specializes in long-length RF-over-coax assemblies engineered to support high-frequency channel stability across extended cable distances.

Our solutions are based on proven ruggedized low-loss cable technology platforms supporting operation deep into the microwave frequency range, with stable electrical behavior extending into the 40–60+ GHz region depending on application requirements.

Available configurations include:

• 1.85 mm
• 2.4 mm
• 2.92 mm
• 3.5 mm
• SMA
• Type-N

Assemblies can be optimized for:

• Long-reach interconnect applications (10–15 meters and beyond)
• Controlled insertion-loss performance
• Repeatable S-parameter behavior
• Dense compute environments requiring low coupling and high shielding effectiveness
• Development and validation platforms
• Silicon bring-up and module qualification
• High-speed test and characterization systems

ConductRF also supports customers with cable construction guidance, connectorization strategy, routing considerations, ruggedization options, and manufacturing optimization for prototype and production deployments.

Precision RF Performance for High-Speed Compute Systems

As AI and hyperscale platforms continue increasing signaling speeds and channel complexity, the RF interconnect itself becomes a critical component within the overall system-performance budget.

Insertion-loss consistency, shielding effectiveness, connector repeatability, and long-length channel stability all play a growing role in equalization strategy, system modeling, validation, and overall link performance.

ConductRF’s engineering and manufacturing teams understand these challenges from decades of experience supporting high-frequency RF and microwave systems where repeatability, consistency, and signal integrity are critical.

Our assemblies are professionally manufactured and 100% lot tested at our ISO-certified facility in Methuen, Massachusetts, USA.
