Messi & Paoloni celebrates 80 years in 2026 — a heritage built around telecommunications, RF engineering and cable manufacture.
Born from a passion for telecommunications.
The story of Messi & Paoloni began with Michele Messi and Dino Paoloni, who met while working at the Allied military transmitting station at Ancona harbour during the 1940s.
That shared interest in telecommunications eventually became Messi & Paoloni. Today the company combines that heritage with specialist manufacturing technologies developed for modern RF installations.
Which M&P coax is right for you?
You don't need to be a cable engineer. Start with how and where you intend to use it.
Airborne 5
A slim 5 mm cable where low weight and a compact installation are important.
Solid copper inner conductor
Hyperflex 5
A flexible 5.4 mm cable and an excellent option where easier routing and a small cable diameter matter.
Stranded copper inner conductor
Ultraflex 7
A superb balance between flexibility, manageable diameter and lower loss for everyday station use.
Flexible copper inner conductor
10 mm Range
Step up to Airborne 10, Ultraflex 10C and other 10 mm M&P cables for more demanding installations.
High-performance feedline
POTA-FLEX 7
A specialist portable cable option for operators who regularly deploy, pack away and move their station.
Ideal for field operations
Need to bury your coax?
Standard flexible coax isn't always the best choice for permanent underground installations. M&P's Extraflex Bury range is designed specifically for outdoor and direct-burial applications.
Compare popular M&P cables
As frequency and cable length increase, feedline loss becomes increasingly important. Choosing the right cable can make a significant difference to your installation.

M&P cable technology
The performance isn't just about cable diameter. M&P has developed specialist construction techniques designed around RF performance and durability.
Reactive Braid
M&P's Reactive Braid construction uses 24-spool machinery rather than 16, creating 50% more crossovers. The design is intended to improve screening performance while allowing the braid to react to bending and twisting more effectively.
Gas Expanded Triple Layer
A sophisticated foamed polyethylene dielectric is enclosed between protective layers. The construction helps protect the dielectric structure and maintain consistent electrical performance.
The right connector for the right cable.
M&P produces connectors matched to specific cable diameters. Choose the correct connector for your cable and build a professional RF installation from radio to antenna.
