I came across some very thin coax cable, maybe 34awg,or even 36. Now i am wondering, foe which industry is it used and what connectors are available there. Any ideas?

\$\begingroup\$ Most likely application is cell phones. The connectors I know of (don't know if they go down to AWG 34 size) are a bunch of proprietary choices from different companies (Hirose is one I know of). \$\endgroup\$– The PhotonAug 4, 2015 at 21:14

\$\begingroup\$ Very thin coax with small brass connector (e.g. sma ) is typically used for antenna connections in small form factors. Commonly seen in wifi routers to connect the external antenna \$\endgroup\$– crasicAug 4, 2015 at 21:49

1\$\begingroup\$ @crasic, SMA is absolutely huge compared to some of the stuff available for cell phones. Go have a look at Hirose's H.FL, X.FL, W.FL, etc. \$\endgroup\$– The PhotonAug 5, 2015 at 2:35

\$\begingroup\$ Thanks!! Hirose looks nice, although the cable is twice as thick. \$\endgroup\$– user76844Aug 5, 2015 at 16:52

1.32mm is a common RF Cable size 50 Ohm up to 6Ghz used inside wifi devices. It commonly connects to PCB mount U-FL connector, also supports MMCX connectors and SMA. We're using this cable to connect MMCX connector on a wiFi card inside our wifi router to the SMA antenna connector on the outside, and to do the same thing from U-FL connector on another WiFi card.
