Coax cables

Coax Cable

The thinner the cable - the bigger the disappointment... Many hams go QRP and don't know it...
A good quality antenna cabling is always a worth while and one-time only investment!

Low loss coaxial cables

AIRCOM

AIRCOM plus

The AIRCOM cable features AIRCELL dieletricum with extreme low attenuation up to 10 GHz. The cable has an elastic exterior PVC coating, the shield consists of a coated copper foil and a narrow stranded copper shield which contributes to the mechanical strength. The cable is available in fixed lengths of 25, 50 and 100m, as well as custom-cut per meter. For AIRCOM plus you need special connectors (Order No. 42080, 42081, 42082, 42083, 42093.

ECOFLEX 10

New type of low-loss cable; PE foam with a flexible stranded center conductor, therefore more flexible than compared to AIRCOM. ECOFLEX features a slightly higher attenuation and a frequency range up to 4 GHz. Shielding is achieved through the use of both coated copper foil and copper braid. Use the same connectors as with AIRCOM. Available in custom and fixed lengths of 25, 50 and 100m.

New! H-155

Low loss cable with PE foam dielectric and stranded center conductor, double shielded with foil and braid. Due to the small diameter the cable is nearly as flexible as RG-58, but with lower loss. Suitable for unit cabling and WLAN applications with short length. Available in custom length.
Special connectors for H-155 are available

AIRCELL

AIRCELL 7 is a 7 mm low loss coaxial cable (better than RG 213). The cable has a flexible stranded center conductor which is surrounded by gas injected PE foam for low loss (more than 50% air content). The shielding is made of both a coated copper foil and copper braid. Special AIRCELL 7 connectors are available.

ECOFLEX 15

New low-loss cable like ECOFLEX 10, thicker, lower loss (... and more expensive...). usable up to 6 GHz. Requires special N plugs with solderless mounting!

MILAG RG-213 FOAM

Low loss cost effective coax cable.
RG-213 FOAM is a new coaxial cable featuring the same outer diameter as RG-213, however, has a completely different construction. Instead of PVC the cable features a dieletricum made of injected PE foam. Consequently, the attenuation is significantly lower than compared to RG-213 and almost reaches the parameters of AIRCOM PLUS, (see table).
The shielding consists of copper braid and an additional copper foil which results in an increase in shielding.
The cable is available for sales in lengths of 25m, 50m and 100m as well as in continuous lengths.

Special N-type connectors are also available

Loss is in dB/100 m. For example, 100 meters of H-2000 Flex will attenuate a 144 MHz signal with 4.8 dB.
Diameter and bending radius is given in millimeters.
