Low Loss Cable - LCU195

This cable type is more advanced than standard grade RG58 cables, necessary for higher frequency communications such as cellular and wireless applications due to its lower attenuation and higher shielding.

We manufacture high quality LCU195 assemblies in both off the shelf variants and custom-made to suit individual applications.

All cables are swept with full test reports available on request.

Specifications

• Diameter: 5mm

• Frequency Range: DC-6GHz

• Signal loss: 0.32dB/m @ 850MHz, 0.53dB/m @ 1800MHz (typical, terminated assembly)

Introducing dB-FLEX

dB-FLEX is our flagship subtype of LCU195 cabling, designed for maximum weather resistance and usability.

LCU195 dB-FLEX consists of a 7-strand bare copper centre conductor which permits repeated bending and much greater flexibility - similar to Times Microwave's LMR-195 UltraFlex.

dB-FLEX has a UV-stable TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) jacket designed for harsh outdoor environments while maintaining maximum flexibility and minimising plastic memory (for improved wall-cavity feeding).

Super Low Loss Cable - LCU400

When it comes to high frequency networks, such as 3G, 4G, WiFi and microwave band communications, cable loss becomes a big factor affecting both signal quality and strength.

L400 series cable such as our LCU400 have one quarter the loss of standard grade cables like RG58, and one third the loss of LCU195 series cable.

Specifications

• Diameter: 10.3mm

• Frequency Range: DC-16GHz

• Signal Loss: 0.145dB/m @ 850MHz, 0.229dB/m @ 1810MHz (typical, terminated assembly)

Half Inch Feeder -LDF-4-50A Heliax

Long cable runs, such as communications towers or multi-storey buildings require a very low attenuation cable to ensure signal quality remains after installation.

This type of cable is suitable for long runs on 3G and 4G bands, and also medium runs on higher 2.4 and 5.8GHz communications.

Specifications

• Diameter: 15.87mm

• Frequency Range: DC-8.8GHz

• Signal Loss: 0.067dB/m @ 850MHz, 0.09dB/m @ 1810MHz (typical, terminated assembly)
