1/2" ClearFill®Line Aluminum Plenum-Rated Air-Dielectric Coaxial Cable for In-Building Applications

Rev : E | Rev date : 29 Aug 2024

ClearFill®Line 1/2" low-loss air dielectric cable, Plenum-rated, CMP

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Supports Multiple RF Signals
  • Complete Shielding
    The solid outer conductor of the ClearFill®Line coaxial cable creates a continuous RFI/EMI shield that minimizes system interference.
  • Outstanding Intermodulation Performance
    RFS Technologies coaxial cable's solid inner and outer conductors virtually eliminate intermods. Intermodulation performance is also confirmed with state-of-the-art equipment at the RFS Technologies factory.
  • Wide Range of Applications
    Typical areas of application are feedlines for plenum-space installations within occupied buildings or structures.
