product description
1/2" CELLFLEX® Low-Loss Coaxial Cable with flame retardant/ halogen free jacket
RFS Item Number: LCF12-50JFN
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Low Attenuation: the low attenuation of CELLFLEX® coaxial cable results in highly efficient signal transferin your RF system.
- 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, OEM jumpers, Main feed transitions to equipment, GPS lines, Riser-rated In-Building, CPR classified cable
- Compliance: meets or exceeds IEC 60754-1, -2; IEC 60332-1-1, -2; IEC 61034-1, -2; IEC 60332-3-24 (formerly IEC 60332-3-C)
- Euroclass acc. to EN 50575: B2ca s1a d0 a1
