product description
1/2" RADIAFLEX® Radiating Cable
RFS Item Number: RLKAX12-50JFNA
>>> Prices and availability on request!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 smooth copper outer conductor which offers a superior electrical performance together with good bending properties.
- Ultra-wideband from 30 MHz to 7200 MHz
- Support of 4G and 5G wireless bands and WLAN standards
- Suitable for a wide range of applications in tunnels and buildings
- Low coupling loss variations for balanced system design througout the overall supported spectrum
- Euroclass acc. to EN 50575: Cca s1a d1 a1
