FlexRAD-600-PVC is low-cost flexible radiating cable that can be used to provide RF coverage in enclosed areas where point source antennas are not practical.

The new FlexRAD cable offers broadband performance up to 2.5GHz to support a wide range of applications such as mining, in-building communications systems, underground applications or any enclosed area where controlled RF coverage is desired.

The cable offers high flexibility as well as an easy connector attachment.

The design allows the cable to be installed without kinking, and in combination with the easy attachment connectors, considerably reduces overall installation time.

Optional low-smoke, non-halogen constructions are available.

The cable accepts standard EZ crimp connectors used for the LMR-600 cable and is designed for an operating temperature range between -40 and +185C.
