    PRODUCT DATASHEET

    RCF12-50JFN
    1/2" RADIAFLEX® RCF Cable

    • RADIAFLEX® functions as a distributed antenna to provide communications in tunnels, mines


    and large building complexes and is the solution for any application in confined areas.
    • Slots in the copper outer conductor allow a controlled portion of the internal RF energy to be
    radiated into the surrounding environment. Conversely, a signal transmitted near the cable
    will couple into the slots and be carried along the cable length.
    • RADIAFLEX® is used for both one-way and two-way communication systems and because of
    its broadband capability, a single radiating cable can handle multiple communication systems
    simultaneously.
    • This RADIAFLEX® radiating cable utilize a low-loss cellular polyethylene foam dielectric and a
    corrugated copper outer conductor which offers a combination of remarkable flexibility, high
    strength and excellent electrical performance.
    FEATURES / BENEFITS
    • Broadband radiating cable supporting all wireless application between 75 MHz to 6000 MHz
    • Ideally suited for application that require low bending radii
    • Robust radiating cable operational under all enviromental conditions as e.g. harsh tunnels or
    mines

    External Document Links Notes


    • Coupling loss as well as longitudinal attenuation of RADIAFLEX®
    cables are measured by the free space method according to IEC
    61196-4.
    • Coupling loss values are average values of all three spatial
    orientations (radial, parallel and orthogonal) of dipole antenna.
    • Coupling loss values are given with a tolerance of +10 dB and
    longitudinal loss values with a tolerance of +5%. Note: Measured
    values below nominal are better. They are not limited by any
    tolerance-range.
    • As with any radiating cable, the performance in building or tunnel
    environments may deviate from figures based on free space
    method.
