1/2" CELLFLEX Lite Low-Loss Foam-Dielectric Coaxial Cable

CELLFLEX Lite 1/2" low loss flexible cable

FEATURES / BENEFITS
It represents a light-weight transmission line solution
The light weight of CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable results in reduced work-force and lifting gear.
It is easy to transport, handle and install
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cables enable savings in shipping cost.
It exhibits a cost-efficient alternative to copper transmission line
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable helps to reduce CAPEX spending.
It offers a user-friendly compatibility with RFS's existing range of accessories
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable requires less inventory additions, thus reduced OPEX.
It enables trouble-free installation and operation
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable avoids downtime and reduces OPEX.
The attenuation is comparable to the industry standard in traditional cable
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable maintains uncompromised coverage.
Specially developed connectors exhibit low and stable intermodulation performance
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable exceeds present PIM standards ensuring no dropped calls.
It is available with UV-resistant polyethylene or flame-retardant jackets
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable can be used outside and in indoor applications where restrictions
apply.
It exceeds industry standard for return loss performance
CELLFLEX Lite coaxial cable means zero risk in network planning.
