Tensolite acquired CDI (Connecting Devices Inc) in 2001. CDI stood out in the RF/microwave industry as one of the leading suppliers of high performance coaxial connectors. CDI's engineering prowess and quality reputation is unmatched in the industry. Recently CDI has developed a full line of high frequency sub-miniature push on connectors. The SMP and SSMP connector series has allowed CDI - and now Tensolite - to participate in high end applications in both the defense electronics and optical telecommunications industries. Addtionally, CDI's expertise in 1.85mm, 2.92mm, SMA, SSMA, SSMP, TNC, N, BMA, and coaxial cable assemblies is demonstrated in commercial, military, and space-qualified telecommunications applications worldwide.

Prior to their acquisition of CDI, Tensolite acquired QMI in 1998. QMI has a long history in the development and manufacture of RF and microwave connectors and cable assemblies. QMI's specialty was high performance test cables for demanding environments. QMI gave Tensolite the ability to marry RF/microwave coaxial cable with high frequency connectors to produce an integrated assembly. From off-the-shelf items to fast custom interconnect solutions, Tensolite is able to provide a complete range of RF components for virtually all RF applications. Tensolite also offers a full line of high performance test cables including, Semi-Flex™, Flexible Commercial, Workhorse™, Armored Workhorse™, as well as supporting custom cable assembly requirements to print.
