RLKAX12-50JFNA
1/2" RADIAFLEX® RLKAX Cable, A-series
Rev : A | Rev date : 14 Dec 2022
- 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 smooth copper outer conductor which offers a superior electrical performance together with good bending properties.
FEATURES / BENEFITS
- Ultra-wideband from 30 MHz to 7200 MHz
- Support of 4G and 5G wireless bands and WLAN standards
- Suitable for a wide range of applications in tunnels and buildings
- Low coupling loss variations for balanced system design througout the overall supported spectrum

Notes
- 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 smooth copper outer conductor which offers a superior electrical performance together with good bending properties
- Coupling loss values are measured with dipole (75 - 4200MHz) and biconical antenna (4400-7200MHz). Values are normalized to half-wave dipole. The coupling loss values given in brackets are average values of all three spatial orientations (radial, parallel and orthogonal)
- Coupling loss values are given with tolerances of +5dB and longitudinal loss values with a tolerance of +5%
- Measured values below nominal are better. Note: measured values below nomila are better. They are not limited by any tolerance range
- Coupling as well as longitudinal loss of RFS RADIAFLEX® cables are measured by free-space method according to IEC 61196-4
- In case of a conflict of operational and stop band, please contact RFS for further assistance
- As with any radiating cable, the performance in building or tunnel environments may deviate from figures based on free-space method
