Description
The CommScope AVA5-50FX HELIAX® Andrew Virtual Air™ Coaxial Cable is a 7/8-inch corrugated copper cable designed for high-performance RF applications. Enclosed in a durable black PE jacket, this cable is ideal for long-distance runs in large antenna systems, including Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and older UHF and cellular base stations. It features an outer diameter of 27.5 mm and a 9 mm inner conductor, ensuring robust construction and effective signal transmission.
With a solid corrugated copper outer conductor, the cable delivers 110 dB of shielding effectiveness and low Passive Intermodulation (PIM), making it suitable for demanding environments. It operates effectively within a frequency range of 1 GHz to 5,000 GHz and is designed to withstand multiple mating cycles.
The AVA5-50FX complies with ISO 9001 Quality Management and RoHS certifications, ensuring high quality and environmental safety. Performance-wise, it offers a VSWR of ≤ 1.13:1 and a Return Loss of ≤ 24.30 dB at frequencies of 680 MHz, 800 MHz, and 1700 MHz. Weighing 410 grams, this cable is a reliable choice for telecommunications infrastructure projects requiring superior performance and durability.
