FEATURES & BENEFITS
  • RADIAFLEX® functions as a distributed antenna to provide communications in tunnels, mines and large building complexes and is the solution for any application in confined areas. Slots in the copper outer conductor allow a controlled portion of the internal RF energy to be radiated into the surrounding environment. Conversely, a signal transmitted near the cable will couple into the slots and be carried along the cable length.
  • RADIAFLEX® is used for both one-way and two-way communication systems and because of its broadband capability, a single radiating cable can handle multiple communication systems simultaneously.
  • This RADIAFLEX® radiating cable utilize a low-loss cellular polyethylene foam dielectric and a corrugated copper outer conductor which offers a combination of remarkable flexibility, high strength and excellent electrical performance.
  • Broadband radiating cable supporting all wireless application between 75 MHz to 6000 MHz
  • Ideally suited for application that require low bending radii
  • Robust radiating cable operational under all enviromental conditions as e.g. harsh tunnels or mines
  • Euroclass acc. to EN 50575: Cca s1a d1 a1
