CELLFLEX^® Lite 7/8" low loss flexible cable

Feature / Benefits

Ultra Low Attenuation
The further reduced attenuation of CELLFLEX® premium attenuation coaxial cable results in extremly efficient signal transfer in your RF system, especially at high frequencies.
Complete Shielding
The solid outer conductor of CELLFLEX® coaxial cable creates a continuous RFI/EMI shield that minimizes system interference.
Low VSWR
Special low VSWR versions of CELLFLEX® coaxial cables contribute to low system noise.
Outstanding Intermodulation Performance
CELLFLEX® coaxial cable's solid inner and outer conductors virtually eliminate intermods. Intermodulation performance is also confirmed with state-of-the-art equipment at the RFS factory.
High Power Rating
Due to their low attenuation, outstanding heat transfer properties and temperature stabilized dielectric materials, CELLFLEX® cable provides safe long term operating life at high transmit power levels.
Wide Range of Application
Typical areas of application are: feedlines for broadcast and terrestrial microwave antennas, wireless cellular, PCS and ESMR base stations, cabling of antenna arrays, and radio equipment interconnects.
