1. A method for producing a high-frequency (HF) coaxial corrugated cable including a plug connector located at at least one of two ends, a cable inner conductor, a dielectric layer surrounding and contacting the cable inner conductor and tubular metallic corrugated outer conductor surrounding and contacting the dielectric layer comprising:

  • providing a HF corrugated coaxial cable including a tubular metallic corrugated outer conductor which centrally surrounds a cable inner conductor and a dielectric layer, the HF corrugated coaxial cable having characteristic features including line impedance Zk, and a minimum bending radius rk,min specified by a manufacturer;

    trimming an end of the HF corrugated coaxial cable to provide access to the cable inner conductor, the dielectric layer surrounding and contacting the inner cable conductor and the metallic outer conductor surrounding and contacting the dielectric layer;

    connecting the plug connector to the trimmed cable end to join the cable inner conductor with an inner conductor of the plug connector and the cable metallic corrugated outer conductor with an outer metallic conductor of the plug connector; and

    cold forming a region of the HF corrugated coaxial cable attached to the plug connector or spaced from the plug connector by applying a bending force directed transversely to a longitudinal part of the HF corrugated coaxial cable and a tensile force directed longitudinally to the HF coaxial cable to form a permanent curved bend subtending an angle between 85° and

    95°

    in the corrugated coaxial cable with a radius length rα

    extending from a center point to a curved bend of the HF corrugated coaxial cable which alters the line impedance Zk rk,min a maximum of less than 1 ohm when 0.2 rk,min

    rα



    0.9 rk,min.
