Ecoflex 10 Coax Cable

Ecoflex 10 Coax Cable

ECOFLEX 10 is a flexible, low-loss coaxial cable specifically designed for use up to 6 GHz. Advanced manufacturing techniques combined with the use of a low-loss PE-LLC Dielectric yields a foaming rate of more than 70% resulting in very low attenuation. ECOFLEX 10 sets the new standard between flexible coaxial cables.

The flexibility of ECOFLEX 10 is further enhanced through the use of a stranded, oxygen-free copper center conductor. Use of proprietary techniques, continuous center conductor calibration and compression as well as the application of a precoating results in low losses and good impedance matching. Further advantages of the cable include the use of double shielding which is constructed of overlapping copperfoil plus an additional tight woven copper braid. A screening efficiency of > 90 dB@ 1 GHz is realized.

The copperfoil has an applied PE-coating which prevents foil cracking due to short radius bends, and black PVC sheath of ECOFLEX 10 is uv-stabilized. In addition to a full compliment of standard connectors, an easy to use solder free N-connector has been specially developed for ECOFLEX 10. Connector installation only takes a few minutes and requires no special tools. ECOFLEX 10 is the right choice when a low loss, highly flexible microwave rated cable is required. It’s economical price makes it the clear leader for today’s demanding applications.
