RADIAX® Radiating Cable

Radiating Mode (RCT) Series cables

The Andrew RADIAX? RCT series is optimized for specific frequency bands and operates in the "radiating mode" and is designed for single or dual-band RF systems. Radiating mode series RADIAX cable is made from a foil wrapped outer conductor over a low-density-foam covering the inner conductor. The cable has specific slots punched in the outer conductor, which launch specific bands from the cable. RCT series cable is designed for specific applications, where minimal bands are required in the overall system. It is ideally suited for single or dual-band systems containing the following bands: TETRA, Cellular, GSM, PCN, PCS, UMTS/3 Generation, and Spread Spectrum.

Coupled Mode (RXL) Series cables

Based on the familiar HELIAX? coaxial cable, coupled mode RADIAX? cable is made from corrugated, welded copper outer conductor over a low-density foam covering the inner conductor. Holes milled in the corrugation peaks of the outer conductor produce the radiation from the cable. RXL series cable is designed for applications that require multiple RF bands. It is designed to handle frequency bands from 50 MHz to 2.4 GHz. RXL series cable is successfully used in tunnels, metros, and outdoor environments.

Plenum Rated (RXP) Series

RADIAX radiating cables are used in applications where fire codes require plenum rated fire retardant cables. They have been tested and meet the following requirements of the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and the National Electric Code (NEC). Jacketing is only available in blue.
