CELLFLEX® 3/8" superflexible cable

Feature / Benefits

Ultra Low Attenuation

The reduced attenuation of CELLFLEX® 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

Applications

OEM jumpers, BTS inter-cabinet connections, GPS lines, intended for outdoor usage
