CELLFLEX® Foam Coaxial Cable

Cables, Antennas and Accessories
Cables Sealing

CCELLFLEX foam dielectric cables combine a remarkable flexibility with high strength and superior electrical performance. The cable construction allows easy handling and easy preparation for attachment of connectors together with high resistance to connector pull-off.

CELLFLEX foam dielectric cables have the following characteristics:

High flexibility
High crush resistance
Low attenuation
High power rating
Longitudinal uniformity
Small reflection factor
High screening effectiveness
Resistant to hostile environments

Low loss cables use foam with very low dielectric losses resulting in low attenuation of RF power.
Superflexible cables are highly bendable due to the mechanical construction of the cable.
Ultraflexible cables use a specific inner conductor design resulting in the highest flexibility of copper cables available on the market.

Used as antenna feeders, cabling of antenna arrays, radio equipment interconnections, jumper assemblies or indoor applications, CELLFLEX® foam dielectric cables provide a reliable and technically superior solution for many wireless applications.
CELLFLEX® foam dielectric cables are often specified in communications and electronic systems.

Jumper cables:

CELLFLEX® foam dielectric jumper cables provideprovide the ideal combination of low-loss, high-strength and highest flexibility for optimum performance. Jumper cables are mainly used between main feeders and antennas or between main feeders and system equipment.

The use of jumpers provides greater flexibility if antennas are to be changed due to network upgrades, while the network is getting mature, reduced mechanical stress on antennas and connectors and better accessibility of feeder terminations (i.e. for trouble shooting).

Four lines of jumper assemblies are available, depending on cable type and connector configuration. The premium soldered, premium molded as well as the factory fit jumper line is already factory assembled with fully soldered connectors. The assembled jumper line is delivered as a kit with standard connectors to be installed on site or factory installed. In general, it can be said that the soldered versions offer advantages with regard to intermodulation performance. The assembled version gives higher flexibility in length and connector options and shortens delivery cycles for seldom-requested versions.

Characteristics of CELLFLEX® jumper cables are:

Excellent contact force
Low and stable intermodulation product IM3
Excellent RF screening effectiveness
Designed to IP68 classification

The jumper cables are for indoor and outdoor applications and withstand severe environmental conditions.

Jumper assemblies are watertight (transversally and longitudinally), providing additional safety even if humidity should enter the coaxial system. Additional sealing (e.g. weather-proofing kits) can be used but is not mandatory.

RADIAFLEX® Radiating Cable
RADIAFLEX® radiating cables facilitate radio communication where the usual free space propagation of electromagnetic waves is hampered, undesired or impossible- in tunnels, mines, buildings, alongside tracks or lines and in large complexes like exhibition grounds or airports.
RFS has a wide range of radiating cables available, each optimized for the following fields of application:

ALF, RLF series for heavy duty wideband and multiuse applications in tunnels of all kinds; easy system planning.
RLK series for applications in tunnels and buildings, where low coupling loss variations are required.
RLV series for tunnel applications, with graded coupling loss (VARIO) performing nearly constant system loss and low amplitude variation.
RAY series for tunnels and buildings, optimized for high frequencies and digital transmission, where low coupling loss variations are required.
RCF series for easy installation in buildings and mining, where particularly small bending radii are required and for heavy duty applications.
RSF series preferable for installations in vehicles where narrow space requires sharp bending radii.
RHCA series for use in buildings where the highest level of fire retardant standards are required. Plenum rated RHCA cables utilize an air-dielectric design. The dielectric support is wrapped Teflon tube.
