koaxial

Koaxial is a European technology company that designs and manufactures advanced coaxial cable systems for telecommunications, broadcasting, and industrial applications. Founded in 1998 in Munich, Germany, the firm originated as a joint venture between several cable manufacturers aiming to develop higher‑frequency transmission solutions for emerging digital networks. Its early product lines focused on low‑loss coaxial cables for cable television (CATV) and early broadband services, and the company quickly expanded into fiber‑enhanced coaxial hybrids.

In the 2000s Koaxial introduced the “X‑Series” of high‑performance cables, featuring low‑dielectric losses and improved shielding that supported frequencies up to 5 GHz. These products were adopted by major broadcasters and mobile‑network operators for back‑haul connections and indoor distribution. The company’s research division also developed proprietary connectors and termination kits that comply with international standards such as IEC 60329 and MIL‑STD‑202.

Beyond hardware, Koaxial provides consulting services for network planning and installation, emphasizing signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility. Its global presence includes sales offices in the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Singapore, with a manufacturing footprint spanning three European plants. Sustainability initiatives launched in 2017 target recyclable materials and reduced manufacturing waste, aligning with industry‑wide environmental guidelines.

As of 2024, Koaxial reports annual revenues exceeding €150 million and maintains a portfolio of over 200 patented technologies. The company continues to explore integration of coaxial infrastructure with emerging 5G and Internet‑of‑Things (IoT) deployments, positioning itself as a provider of hybrid transmission solutions in an increasingly wireless‑centric market.
