Particularly aware of the contamination risks of a nosocomial infection, Axon’ Cable has incorporated the technology of silver ion micro-flux into interconnect solutions to develop NOSOFREE®, an innovative range of antimicrobial medical assemblies. Designed with dedicated jacketing, moulding and overmoulding materials with anti-microbial and anti-fungi properties, they inhibit the growth of viruses, microbes, including bacteria which resist antibiotics. Any plastic insulation including PVC, TPE and PE can be modified with antibacterial agents. Material properties, such as colour and biocompatibility are not affected by the NOSO-FREE® manufacturing process. The antibacterial activity is efficient during the whole lifetime of the cable assembly.

Only Axon’ Cable currently provides a range of RF cable assemblies up to 45 GHz which has been QPL qualified by ESA according to the ESCC3408/003 specification. Up to twice as light as non-approved equivalent products, these cable assemblies achieve excellent electrical characteristics. In short, this is an ideal solution for antennae designed for telecommunication satellites operating in the Q band (45 GHz). The development of this range of microwave coaxial assemblies has been fully achieved by Axon’ Cable with the support of the French Space Agency CNES.

Solar Orbiter, the space mission resulting from an international collaboration between ESA and NASA has been launched from Cape Canaveral by an Atlas V411 rocket. It will take two years to reach its operational orbit. Aboard the satellite, 10 scientific instruments will help to scrutinize the sun. Many scientific institutes and industrial partners have contributed to this mission, which is expected to make unprecedented high-resolution observations of the solar poles. Interconnect links designed and manufactured by Axon’ Cable are on their way to the sun.

About 90 000 step files have now been added to Axon Cables online library. 700 micro-D step files were already available, but you can now have access to a much larger range of specs: rectangular, circular, combo, nano-D, combo, backshells and hardware.
