Coaxial cables cut insertion loss

The cabling saves money because it can be stripped and formed by hand without the need for special and often expensive tooling associated with traditional semirigid cable.

Habia Cable has released Flexiform L coaxial cables, offering a reduced insertion loss compared to the standard Flexiform range.

Flexiform is a reformable alternative to traditional semirigid cable.

The cabling saves money because it can be stripped and formed by hand without the need for special and often expensive tooling associated with traditional semirigid cable.

Handling is similar to any standard coaxial cable, which means you can use existing cut and strip machines.

Frequently used within cellular basestation antennas, the L versions give the opportunity for antenna manufacturers to incorporate the cable into cellular basestation designs and offer antennas providing enhanced call quality.

By introducing a profiled low-loss dielectric, Flexiform 401 L and Flexiform 402 L coaxial cables give a 7% reduction in attenuation over the standard Flexiform range while maintaining the outstanding shielding qualities.

A range of impedance options are available together with nonmagnetic conductor types, various screening options and jacket colours as well as a wide range of material alternatives.

Flexiform 401 L and Flexiform 402 L offer a phase stable product with little dimensional tradeoff and no additional cost implication.

As with the standard product, a range of different impedances can be provided if required.

Designed to operate from -65 to +180C the cables are manufactured with a silver-plated copper conductor, profile-extruded PTFE jacket, tin-soaked tin-plated copper braid and the option of fluoropolymer (FJ) or halogen-free jackets (HFJ).

Flexiform L is also available in a range of colours.

"Flexiform 401L and Flexiform 402L offer a phase stable product with little dimensional trade-off and no additional cost implication compared to our standard range together with a range of different impedance options if required" said Brian Dempster, Market Manager for RF and Communications at Habia Cable.
