Material : low loss gas injected polyethylene

• structure of closed cells - protection against moisture ingress

• optimum dielectric hardness - improves mechanical propertice of cable

• The foam is bonded to the center conductor with moisture-blocking polymer - prevent removing out of central conductor.

• This construction garante attenuation stability from 0 % to 100 % relative humidity.

JACKETAbrasion resistant, low coefficient offriction medium density black polyethylene.

Triple Bonded SystemTriple Bonded System

Triple Bonded System● corrosion protectant agains moisture ingress

● provides adhesion strength to - 40°C , drastically reducing center conductor pull-outs due to extreme temperature changes

● impruves handling and facilitates the use of standard connectors

● prevents concealment of aluminum sheat demage, identifying problems before the cable is installed

● allows all components to operate together as a single unit

● offers benefits of increased pull strength an resistance to possible sidewall pressure damage during instalation

● solves the instances of connector pull-outs, further reducing cable service problems after instalation
