Low Loss Coaxial Cable

Application

Wireless transmission included mobile phone systems and microwave communication systems.

The transmission media must be low transmission loss and high efficiency. The cable laid at radio base station to connect central office to antenna for radio transmission. The cable also installs at the places in which radio signal can not reach, such as tunnel, railway station or basement with antenna for auxiliary communication.

Construction

Low Loss Coaxial Cable

1Inner conductor-Corrugated Copper tube /Copper tube/Copper Clad Aluminum wire
2Dielectric –Foam Polyethylene
3Outer Conductor-Corrugated Copper tube
4Sheath- Polyethylene or Low Smoke Free Halogen compound

Property

  • Low transmission loss
  • Low reflection loss
  • Characteristic impedance is 50 ohm
  • Outer Conductor which uses corrugated Copper tube makes the cable flexible.
  • Light weight , easy to delivery and installation
  • With low smoke, halogen free and flame retardant performance
