Simple and reliable wireless coverage with SUCORAD radiating cables


Written by 

Steven Sun

Product Manager

SUCORAD is a radiating cable system developed by HUBER+SUHNER that distributes radio frequency signals along its length to provide consistent wireless coverage in enclosed or hard-to-reach areas such as tunnels, metros, underground parking, and large buildings. It acts like a continuous antenna, helping eliminate weak signal zones and simplifying wireless network installation in these environments.

What is a radiating cable? 

A radiating cable looks like a normal coaxial cable, but it has small slots in its outer layer. These slots allow the wireless signal to gently leak out along the full length of the cable. At the same time, signals from devices can also enter the cable through these slots. Because of this, the cable works like: 

 

  • A cable that carries the signal


  • An antenna that spreads the signal evenly

 

This helps provide smooth and continuous coverage, especially in long and narrow spaces.
