ENVIROFLEX™

Environmentally friendly coaxial cables

The ENVIROFLEX cable family enables now users to quickly switch from fluorine-containing cables to halogen-free alternatives.

Features and benefits

2nd source supplier availability
UL approved
completely free of halogen
flame retardant
easy to dispose of
dimension identical to PTFE bearing RG cable types
standard RF connectors can be used
excellent solderability (leadfree up to +280 °C)

The materials used in the cable design - both for the dielectric and for the jacket - do not include any fluorine-consisting plastics. On the other hand, the dimensions of the individual cable types are entirely compatible with the international de-facto RG standards, as well as the excellently established HUBER+SUHNER cable type K 02252 D which corresponds to RG 316 /U but is equipped with a double braid.

Standard connectors can be used without any restrictions with the new ENVIROFLEX cable family.

HUBER+SUHNER's control of various key technologies has proven to be an invaluable advantage while designing this new product family. The PE is foamed just to the point where a dielectric constant of 2.0 is obtained to ensure dimensional compatibility with the RG types.

Radiation cross-linking allows the maximum application temperature of polyethylene to be increased from +80 °C to +105 °C. This extended range covers most applications. It allows operation in a higher power range and connectors with soldered inner conductors can be applied. In addition, the ENVIROFLEX family uses LSFH (Low Smoke Halogen-Free) - our RADOX^® materials featuring an active flame protection.
