Lightweight 50 Ohm RF Coaxial Cables

In 2009, the aviation industry committed to an average improvement in fuel ef ciency of 1.5% annually through 2020. In order to help our customers achieve
the requirements, PIC Wire & Cable® has continually developed lighter-weight components. We also understand that lighter components equal thousands of
dollars saved over the lifetime of an aircraft.

Our new ULTRALITE cables are yet another example of an innovative cable solution that is both low loss and lightweight.

At PIC we design every product with our customers in mind. We want to make your job easier and we believe that begins with the design of products. Infused
with 45 years of industry-leading knowledge and engineering expertise each of our interconnects is designed to deliver superior performance.

PIC’s next generation ULTRALITES are no exception. Consisting of the UH25107 (https://www.picwire.com/wp-
content/uploads/ les/pdfs/rfmates/PIC_UH25107.pdf), UH67163 (https://www.picwire.com/wp-
content/uploads/ les/pdfs/rfmates/PIC_UH67163.pdf), UH22089 (https://www.picwire.com/wp-content/uploads/ les/pdfs/rfmates/PIC_UH22089.pdf),
and UH44193 (https://www.picwire.com/wp-content/uploads/ les/pdfs/rfmates/PIC_UH44193.pdf) they are an expansion of our lightweight 50 ohm RF
coaxial cable family – RFMATES®. Each ULTRALITE cable provides a considerable weight savings compared to RG cables and other similar-performing cables:

PIC UH25107 is 81% Lighter than RG211

PIC UH67163 is 80% Lighter than RG393
PIC UH22089 is 60% Lighter than S22089
PIC UH44193 is 56% Lighter than RG142
