Coaxial Antennas

1 424243 Draka Coaxial Antennas include two product families: RFX / RF2X and RFXT. RFX and RF2X cables are the best choice for multi- and broadband systems. RFXT cables are ideal when certain selected frequencies are required; the performance of RFXT cables is optimized for the respective frequency bands. Our Coaxial Antennas provide a reliable way to build indoor coverage network in buildings and in tunnels. RFX and RF2X cables are coupled mode cables with a corrugated and milled outer conductor. RFX cables have slots in one line on the outer conductor and RF2X have slots in two lines on the outer conductor.

2 These cables are also available with a suspension wire: RFXK and RF2XK. RFXT cables are radiating mode cables with a periodically slotted and overlapped copper tape outer conductor. The most important electrical characteristics of Coaxial Antennas are longitudinal attenuation and coupling loss. The excellent electrical performance of our RFX, RF2X and RFXT cables is achieved by continuous development work and an extensive test AntennasDraka 50 Ohm Radio Frequency CablesCOAXIAL Antennas TypeProduct (in)Outer (in) (in)Standardlengthm (ft)StandarddrumtypeRFX 1/2 -50 ( ) ( ) ( ) 500 (1640) P11 DRFX 7/8 ( ) ( ) ( ) 500 (1640)P13 GRFX 1 1/4 ( ) ( ) ( )600 (1968)P20 GRFX 1 5/8 ( ) ( ) ( )400 (1312)P20G RFXT 7/8 ( ) ( ) ( )
