product description
3/8" CELLFLEX® Low-Loss Coaxial Cable
RFS Item Number: LCF38-50J
FEATURES & 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, OEM jumpers, BTS inter-cabinet connections, GPS lines, Microwave IF cabling, intended for outdoor usage.
- Euroclass acc. to EN 50575: Fca
