Clamp spacing
For proper long-term operation, a minimum clamp
spacing is recommended. It depends on the cable size
of the cable to be installed. The recommended clamp
spacing is valid for the installation with:
CLIC-clamp and round base
heavy-duty clamp
messenger wire with cable tie
7/8
0.9 m (3 ft)
1 1/4
1 5/8
1.5 m (5 ft)

Clic-clamp
Simple mounting of cables by simply
push the cable in by hand, clamp will
grip and lock by applying slight pressure

Frequency Range
The design of the apertures in the outer conductor
influences the frequency for which the cable is
optimized. RADIAFLEX cables are usually classified
into categories: for operation up to 900 MHz, 1900
MHz and 2700 MHz (6000 MHz). Cables optimized
for special frequency ranges are available on request
Longitudinal Loss
This is a measure of signal loss in the cable over its
entire length
Coupling Loss
This is a measure of the signal loss between the
cable and a test receiver at a distance of 2m (6.5ft)
System Loss
This is the sum of longitudinal loss and coupling loss
Reception probability
50% - where 50 percent of all measured samples are
better than stated performance figures

Longitudinal loss aI
Signal loss in cable

Note: al increases with frequency!
