RFS intros CELLFLEX 'A' 2G/3G high-performance feeder cable at Convergence India

GERMANY AND NEW DELHI -- Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) is exhibiting its high-performance CELLFLEX 'A' series feeder cable at the 12th Convergence India 2004 exhibition. The cable is an evolution of its popular CELLFLEX foam di-electric feeder cable range.

Boasting an improvement in attenuation performance by up to 6 percent, the CELLFLEX 'A' series has been developed to meet the exacting performance needs of 2G and 3G cellular networks, while concurrently, retaining the ease of handling and backward compatibility in cable connector systems.

Globally launched in 2003, the CELLFLEX 'A' series RAPID FIT cable connector family is backward compatible with the existing CELLFLEX feeder cable family. The single-piece cable connector is identical in installation, handling, and tooling, to the existing RFS connector range. Quick and easy to install, the CELLFLEX 'A' series connector offers improved return loss (up to 6dB improvement at 2.2GHz), and consistently low and stable intermodulation (IM) levels. The new connector series is available for all CELLFLEX cable sizes ranging from 7/8 inch through to 2-1/4 inch.

The entire CELLFLEX 'A' series comes in the gamut of popular feeder cable sizes (7/8, 1-1/4, 1-5/8 and 2-1/4 inch cable diameter), plus a choice of standard UV-resistant polyethylene or flame and fire retardant jackets. For more demanding applications, the Premium Performance CELLFLEX 'A' series is available, which offers the lowest possible voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) over a customer-specified operating bandwidth.

Gerhard Wunder, the area product manager, transmission lines, RFS, said: "Cellular operators are faced with the challenge of deploying existing 2G, emerging 2.5, and future 3G cellular base stations, as cost-efficiently and as quickly as possible. On the one hand, they must address the issue of attenuation. They are also looking for feeder solutions that are installer-friendly. This helps streamline the installation process and reduce rollout costs. RFS has achieved this with the CELLFLEX 'A' series: a feeder cable with improved attenuation at the 1000 and 2000MHz bands, which exhibits backward compatibility and superior flat plate crush strength."
