Times Microwave Systems (TMS), a Smiths Group Plc company, and a division of Smiths Interconnect was founded in 1948 as the Times Wire and Cable Company . TMS is an engineering oriented organization specializing in the design and manufacture of high performance flexible and semi-rigid coaxial cable, connectors, and cable assemblies for RF transmission from HF through Microwave frequencies. TMS range of capabilities is summarized below and detailed in TMS Capabilities .

TMS is committed to continuous improvement with respect to ISO-9001 Quality Standards and IS0-14001 Environmental Management Systems.

The expertise that provided cable solutions for the demanding requirements of airborne electronic warfare systems and led the way in the development of low smoke cables for shipboard applications is now yielding high performance cables to meet the needs of the wireless communications market. The innovative LMR ? product line provides a better alternative to corrugated copper cables for antenna feeders and system interconnects. Compared to corrugated copper cables, LMR cables offer better flexibility, resistance to kinking, comparable attenuation, and easier connector attachment at a lower cost.

The work performed at TMS in the 60's, 70's, and 80's forms the basis for today's high performance coaxial cables. TMS pioneered the development of closed cell low loss polyethylene foam dielectric and low loss taped PTFE dielectric coaxial cables. Through a thorough understanding of transmission line theory and manufacturing processes, TMS was the first to produce cables with reduced periodicity and impedance matched interfaces, resulting in the first transmission lines with low VSWR over broadband frequency ranges up to 40 GHz. The development of connector design and manufacturing expertise allowed TMS to take full performance responsibility for the entire cable assembly, which was unprecedented at the time.

TMS is the leader in the design, qualification, manufacture, and on-time delivery of high performance cable and cable assembly products to the commercial wireless and military marketplace.
