Aircell 5

Aircell 5 is a five millimeter thin, flexible coaxial cable for the frequency range up to 10 GHz. The very low attenuation in relation to the diameter and the alternative usability of standard RG-58 coaxial connectors make this cable the first choice not only for wireless LAN but for many applications in telecommunications.

The relatively low attenuation of Aircell 5 is achieved by a low-loss PE-LLC dielectric with a gas content of over 70%. The material is also resistant to moisture. The solid core conductor of Aircell 5 is drawn from low-oxygen copper (OFC). In order to achieve good shielding and low losses, the Aircell 5 outer conductor is made of two layers of copper: on a thin, overlapping copper foil, a shielding layer with a degree of coverage of 70% is applied. The film is PE-coated on the inside and thus protected against cracking if the bending radius is too small. The black PVC outer jacket of Aircell 5 is UV-stabilized.

Due to its outer diameter of 5 mm, Aircell 5 can be used with almost all commercially available coaxial connectors for 5 mm coaxial cables. Aircell 5 is a modern coax cable for many applications in telecommunications: it is relatively flexible, low-attenuation and anti-radiation.
