About
At RigCables, we’re a family-owned company built around one simple idea — make great cables accessible to everyone in the ham radio community and beyond.
We started RigCables because we love this hobby. Over the years, we’ve seen passionate operators whose enthusiasm hasn’t faded, even if their ability to build or maintain their own gear has. Some of our customers can’t solder like they used to, but they still want to stay on the air. Others simply have more projects than time. That’s where we come in — providing the parts, knowledge, and service to keep people connected to the hobby they love.
Precision You Can Count On
We use Schleuniger’s state-of-the-art assembly and automation equipment, ensuring every cable we build is precise down to 1/1000 of an inch. That means every connector fits perfectly, every braid stays intact, and every dielectric layer remains undamaged. Our elastic tying machines secure each cable neatly and safely, avoiding the kind of handling damage that can affect performance.
Each RigCables assembly goes through rigorous testing — from continuity and high-pot verification to spectrum analysis when requested — so you can trust that what you’re buying performs exactly as expected. We build with predictability and repeatability, not guesswork.
Built for Every Type of User
Our customers range from ham radio enthusiasts and telecom professionals to those working in defense and large-scale communication systems like stadiums and corporate buildings.
We offer both standard and premium coax assemblies, because we know not everyone has the same needs. About 80% of our customers are motivated by value and reliability, while 20% want the very best performance possible — and we’re proud to serve both with equal care.
Customer-First by Design
Being family-owned gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most: the customer. To us, everyone is in sales — whether you’re building, testing, packing, or answering emails, your job is to make sure the customer is happy and the product exceeds expectations.
We listen carefully, customize when needed, and deliver fast. When a local customer needed cables urgently for a tower install, we built them and delivered them the same day — because that’s what we’d want someone to do for us.
Making the Complex Simple
RF and coax cables can feel technical and intimidating. We work to make it simple — giving engineers the specs they need while helping newcomers find the right product without confusion.
We’re also developing a Product Choice Wizard, a Knowledge Base, and a Blog full of guides, diagrams, and videos to make learning and connecting easier for everyone.
Balancing Automation and Craft
Even with all our automation, there’s still no substitute for the trained eye and hand of a skilled technician. Every cable gets human quality control because precision is only as good as verification. Our philosophy is simple: consistency and dependability drive everything we do.
Looking Ahead
RigCables isn’t chasing mass scale — we’re building a niche business that serves a passionate community. As we grow, we’re exploring opportunities to serve B2B clients in the defense and telecom industries, while continuing to support hobbyists and operators who make this field so unique.
We’re proud to help people stay connected — whether that means bouncing a signal off the moon or simply keeping your rig running at home.
