Solving Today’s Networking Bottlenecks

Enterprise and service provider networks face unprecedented challenges:

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 3, 2025 – As modern industries demand faster, longer-distance, and interference-free communication systems, RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) technology is gaining traction as a strategic upgrade to conventional coaxial RF connectivity. HUBER+SUHNER, a global leader in high-performance RF and microwave cable solutions, is spearheading innovation in this space, demonstrating how RFoF delivers clear advantages in challenging environments.

Reinforcing the Value of Coaxial RF Cables

Traditional coaxial cables remain a staple in high-frequency signal transmission. Their simple yet effective design—comprising an inner conductor, dielectric insulator, and outer conductor—ensures strong shielding and high signal fidelity. These attributes make coaxial cables a cost-efficient and robust solution, particularly in scenarios where short distances and physical resilience are key.
