Custom Cable Manufacturing at 5Gstore: Built in the USA, Tested One by One, Ready for Real Deployments

In this post you’ll learn:

• What makes our custom cables different from “standard” off-the-shelf options
• The cable types we build (Low Loss 240 and Ultra Low Loss 400) and when to use each
• Connector options, weatherproofing, and testing details
• How we handle everything from one-off cables to large production runs like 700 cables for a single customer

Featured build: 700 custom 30 ft cables for one customer

We regularly support bulk, repeatable builds for enterprise and government deployments. A perfect example is the photo we’re featuring in this post: our team producing 700 custom 30 ft cables for one customer.

These were not “grab them off a shelf” cables. They were:

• Hand-built in the USA
• Individually tested before they shipped
• Built to a consistent spec so every cable installs the same way in the field

Why we built our own cable manufacturing line

RF cables look simple until you deploy them at scale. We started manufacturing cables in-house because we were tired of seeing common issues that cost customers time and money:

• Connectors that loosen, spin, or fail after install
• Inconsistent quality from one batch to the next
• “Mystery cables” that do not meet the expected loss performance
• Outdoor installs failing due to poor weatherproofing
• DOA cables that waste a truck roll

So we built a process that focuses on consistency, durability, and repeatability.

What we manufacture: custom lengths, built to your exact install

We build cables to match how your gear is actually mounted, not the other way around.

Common length requests include:

• Short jumpers for clean cabinet installs
• Vehicle and trailer runs
• Wall, rooftop, and tower routes
• Standardized lengths for large rollouts (like the 30 ft batch shown above)

If you need 1 cable or 700+, we can build them to spec so your installers are not guessing, adapting, or adding unnecessary adapters.

Cable types we build: Low Loss 240 and Ultra Low Loss 400

Choosing the right cable matters. Cable loss adds up fast, especially at higher frequencies and longer runs.

Low Loss 240

A strong choice when you want a slimmer cable that is easier to route while still improving performance vs. many basic coax options.

Best for:

• Short to mid-length runs
• Tight routing paths
• Indoor installs and many vehicle installs

Ultra Low Loss 400

This is our go-to when performance matters most, especially on longer runs. Lower loss can mean better signal quality and higher real-world throughput.

Best for:

• Longer runs
• Outdoor antennas and rooftop installs
• Sites where every dB counts

If you tell us your use case, approximate length, and what you’re connecting, we can help you pick the right option.

Connector options: built to match your router, antenna, or modem

Most “close enough” cable problems start at the connector. We build cables with the connector types customers actually need for cellular and WiFi deployments.

Common examples include:

• SMA and RP-SMA
• N-type
• TNC
• Other popular RF connector combinations used on routers, antennas, and adapters

If your deployment uses a specific connector combo across a fleet, we can standardize that build so every site install is consistent.

Built for the field: shrink-wrapped, rugged, and weather-ready

Deployments are rarely gentle. Cables get pulled through conduit, bent around corners, strapped to mounts, and exposed to heat, cold, and moisture.

That’s why our builds focus on durability details that matter:

• Hand-built assemblies
• Shrink-wrapped connections to help keep connectors secure and reduce strain
• IP67-rated weatherproofing options for outdoor environments
• Clean labeling and consistent builds for repeat installs

If you are deploying outdoors or in harsh environments, tell us. We will make sure the cable build matches the conditions.

Every cable is tested before it ships

This is non-negotiable for us.

Each cable is individually tested to confirm it is built correctly and ready to deploy. That’s how we reduce surprises in the field and avoid the “why is this site underperforming?” troubleshooting spiral.

For bulk orders, this matters even more, because one bad cable multiplied across dozens or hundreds of installs becomes a huge time and cost problem.

One-offs, prototypes, and high-volume production runs

Our cable manufacturing line supports:

• Single custom cables for unique installs
• Small batches for pilots and proofs of concept
• Large, standardized production runs (like the 700 cable build shown above)

If you have a rollout coming up, we can help you standardize:

• Cable type
• Lengths
• Connector combos
• Weatherproofing requirements
• Labeling preferences

That means faster installs, cleaner documentation, and easier replacements later.

What to send us to quote the right cable

If you want the quickest, most accurate recommendation, send:

• Required length (or a range)
• What you’re connecting (router/modem model + antenna model if available)
• Indoor vs outdoor install
• Any routing constraints (tight bends, conduit, vehicle, etc.)
• Quantity (1, 10, 100, 700+)

We’ll help you pick the right cable type and connector combo so it works the first time.

Ready to spec your cables?

If you’re tired of inconsistent quality or you’re preparing a deployment where repeatability matters, our custom cable manufacturing line was built for exactly that.

We can build a cable that fits your install, performs like it should, and arrives tested, labeled, and ready to deploy. Contact 5Gstore
