Wire & Cable ASIA – May/June 2008
Global cable manufacturer Habia Cable
has further enhanced its market leading
range of Flexiform coaxial cables with
the introduction of Flexiform L versions
that offer a reduced insertion loss over
the standard Flexiform range.
Flexiform is a re-formable alternative to
traditional semi-rigid cable.
Because it can be stripped and formed
by hand without the need for special
and often expensive tooling associated
with traditional semi-rigid cable it also
provides a cost effective alternative.
Handling is similar to any standard
coaxial cable and existing cut and strip
machines can be used.
Frequently used within cellular base
station antennas, the new ‘L’ versions
give the opportunity for antenna
manufacturers to incorporate the cable
into cellular base station designs and
offer antennas providing enhanced call
quality.
By introducing a profiled low loss
dielectric, Flexiform 401 L and
Flexiform 402 L coaxial cables give
a 7% reduction in attenuation over
the standard Flexiform range whilst
maintaining the outstanding shielding
qualities.
A range of impedance options are
available together with non-magnetic
conductor types, various screening
options and jacket colours as well as a
wide range of material alternatives.
Flexiform 401 L and Flexiform 402 L
offer a phase stable product with little
dimensional trade-off and no additional
cost implication.
As with the standard product, a range
of different impedances can be
provided if required.
Designed to operate from -65 to 180°C,
the cables are manufactured with a
silver plated copper conductor, profile
extruded PTFE jacket, tin soaked tin
plated copper braid and the option of
Fluoropolymer (FJ) or Halogen free
Jackets (HFJ).
Flexiform L is also available in a range
of alternative colours.
