Description
The defining feature of the Superflex cable is its mechanical agility. It can handle a minimum single-bend radius of approximately 25mm, allowing for precise routing in “fringe” areas of a telecommunications site. Despite its flexibility, it maintains the electrical integrity of a solid-shielded cable, offering significantly better Passive Intermodulation (PIM) stability and lower attenuation than traditional braided cables like RG-142 or LMR-240.
Constructed with a Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) center conductor and a foam polyethylene dielectric, it ensures a high velocity of propagation (~82%). It is typically jacketed in UV-resistant Black PE for outdoor use or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) for fire-safe indoor installations in tunnels or buildings.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Extreme Flexibility: The helical corrugation allows for tight turns and complex routing that standard feeder cables cannot achieve.
-
High Frequency Limit: Supports bandwidths up to 20.4 GHz, ensuring compatibility with the latest mmWave 5G and satellite technologies.
-
Low PIM Performance: Designed to minimize interference in multi-carrier systems, essential for maintaining high-speed data throughput.
-
Superior Shielding: The solid copper outer conductor provides a 100% RF shield, preventing signal ingress and egress in high-density environments.
-
Weatherproof Reliability: When paired with the correct connectors, it provides a waterproof IP68-rated solution for outdoor jumpers.
