RFS 1/2" Ultra Low Loss Foam CELLFLEX Cable - Bulk Per Foot (LCF12-50J)

The CELLFLEX® 1/2" low loss flexible cable is engineered for superior performance in various demanding RF applications. It boasts ultra-low attenuation, ensuring highly efficient signal transfer, particularly at high frequencies, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and strength of the transmitted signal.

One of the key features of CELLFLEX® coaxial cable is its complete shielding. The solid outer conductor provides a continuous RFI/EMI shield, greatly minimizing system interference and ensuring clean signal transmission across environments prone to electrical noise.

The cable also offers low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), which contributes to reducing system noise and enhancing overall system reliability. Additionally, the robust design of the inner and outer conductors effectively eliminates intermodulation, allowing for excellent performance confirmed through rigorous testing at the RFS factory.

With its outstanding heat transfer properties and temperature stabilized dielectric materials, CELLFLEX® cable supports safe, long-term operation at high power levels. This makes it ideal for use in high-demand settings such as broadcast feedlines, terrestrial microwave antennas, and wireless cellular base stations.
