Coaxial Cable

Choosing the appropriate coaxial cable is vital to the success of any antenna installation. If the correct cable is not used, signal loss will be high and transmit/receive performance poor. Important factors to be considered are :Choosing the appropriate coaxial cable is vital to the success of any antenna installation

  1. Transmit Power - Broadcasters transmitting at high powers will require flexible foam dielectric cables.
  2. Frequency - The higher the frequency, the higher the signal loss over any given cable run distance, particularly above 477 MHz.
  3. Length of Cable Run - The longer the cable run, the more signal is lost.
  4. Cable Attenuation - The better quality solid core cables deliver lower signal loss.

Our consultants can assist you in selecting the best coaxial cable to suit your particular RF application.

We assemble CABLE SETS to your requirements.
