Product Description
3/8" HELIFLEX® Air Dielectric Coaxial Cable
HELIFLEX® 3/8" low loss air dielectric cable
Application: UHF, VHF
Features/Benefits
• Low Attenuation
The low attenuation of HELIFLEX® coaxial cable results in highly efficient
signal transfer in your RF system.
• Complete Shielding
The solid outer conductor of HELIFLEX® coaxial cable creates a continuous RFI/EMI shield that
minimizes system interference.
• Low VSWR
Special low VSWR versions of HELIFLEX® coaxial cables contribute to low system noise.
• Outstanding Intermodulation Performance
HELIFLEX® 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, HELIFLEX® 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.
