Description
Powertec’s PTL-240 is an L-240 class low loss coaxial cable with a 6.1 mm outer diameter. Supporting frequencies beyond 6 GHz, it is a popular choice of RF cable, due to its efficient compromise between performance and cost.
PTL-240 cable provides the flexibility and easy installation of a smaller diameter cable, with the low attenuation and shielding advantages of a larger cable. Unlike larger cables, L-240 class cables can pass frequencies up to a theoretical limit of 31 GHz.
The cable is a mid-size providing a compromise between form-factor/bend radius, and attenuation/power handling. Its double shielded outer conductor provides exceptional RF shielding exceeding 90 dB, and PE jacket for a service life in excess of 20 years.
As a braided cable it is suitable for UHF radio, and cellular technologies such as 3G and 4G. The cable is very popular as a feeder cable connecting roof mounted antennas to equipment indoors.
Terminating L-240 coaxial connectors requires a 6.48 mm (.255") hex die.
- Durable and UV-Stable Polyethylene (PE) jacket
- Suitable for most Sub-6 GHz wireless transmissions
- Industry-leading attenuation characteristics
- Wide range of compatible RF connectors available
