Product Introduction
The low attenuation of coaxial cable results in highly efficient signal transfer in your RF system.
Complete Shielding
The solid outer conductor of coaxial cable creates a continuous RFI/EMI shield that minimizes system interference.
Low VSWR
Special low VSWR versions of coaxial cables contribute to low system noise.
Outstanding Intermodulation Performance
Coaxial cable's solid inner and outer conductors virtually eliminate intermods. Intermodulation performance is also confirmed with state-of-the-art equipment at the factory.
High Power Rating
Due to their low attenuation, outstanding heat transfer properties and temperature stabilized dielectric materials, the cable provides safe long term operating life at high transmit power levels.
