RL78 Series
Rigid Line Components 7/8” 50 ohm

RFS rigid line components are available for both unpressurized (indoor) and pressurized, flanged (outdoor) systems. ;
Sizes available are 7/8", 1-5/8", 3-1/8", 4-1/2", 4-7/8", 6-1/8" and 7-3/16�.
All components are manufactured to the most exacting tolerances.
Other line sizes are available on special order.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

Line inner and outer tubing is of high conductivity, hard-drawn, copper, milled to exact dimensions. Unflanged components for indoor use are polished and sprayed with a clear lacquer to maintain a high lustre finish
Flanges and mitred elbow joints are TIG welded for maximum strength
Captive PTFE dielectric insulators are used exclusively in lines and elbows to ensure precision mating and stability of components after assembly
All inner conductor connectors are silver plated
All components conform to the relevant EIA or IEC standards
