RF Industries Ltd (NASDAQ: RFIL) is an electronic components company that designs, manufactures, and distributes coaxial connectors, cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, fiber optic products, and integrated systems for communications and industrial applications. Revenue comes from transactional product sales across three categories: interconnect products (31% of total sales, FY2025), custom cabling products (32% of total sales, FY2025), and integrated systems (37% of total sales, FY2025). Sales are distributed primarily through independent, non-exclusive distributors, with a material portion of revenue concentrated among a few principal customers. RFIL operates from headquarters in San Diego, California, with additional manufacturing facilities in Milford, Connecticut and Rhode Island. During the fourth quarter of FY2025, the company consolidated its previously separate RF Connector and Custom Cabling segments into a single reportable segment as part of broader restructuring that included manufacturing consolidation and headcount reductions. Backlog stood at $15.5 million as of October 31, 2025, down from $19.5 million as of October 31, 2024.
