RLKL114-50CPRD
1-1/4" RADIAFLEX® RLKL Cable, A-series

Rev : A | Rev date : 15 Nov 2025
  • RADIAFLEX® functions as a distributed antenna to provide communications in tunnels, mines and large building complexes and is the solution for any application in confined areas.
  • Slots in the copper outer conductor allow a controlled portion of the internal RF energy to be radiated into the surrounding environment. Conversely, a signal transmitted near the cable will couple into the slots and be carried along the cable length.
  • RADIAFLEX® is used for both one-way and two-way communication systems and because of its broadband capability, a single radiating cable can handle multiple communication systems simultaneously.
  • This RADIAFLEX® radiating cable utilize a low-loss cellular polyethylene foam dielectric and a smooth copper outer conductor which offers a superior electrical performance together with good bending properties.

Features / Benefits

  • TETRA optimized cable
  • Wideband from 30 MHz to 520 MHz
  • For applications in tunnels and buildings
  • Low coupling loss variations

  • Coupling loss and longitudinal attenuation of RADIAFLEX® cables are measured according to IEC 61196-4. The cable tests are performed under free space method (cable in 2 m height).
  • Coupling loss values are measured with dipole antenna.
  • The coupling loss values given in brackets are average values of all three spatial orientations (radial, parallel and orthogonal). The best values among the three spatial orientations are stated as well.
  • Coupling loss values are given with a manufacturing tolerance of +3dB (typ.) and longitudinal loss values with a manufacturing tolerance of +5% (typ.). 
  • In case of a conflict of operational and stop band, please contact RFS for further assistance.
  • As with any radiating cable, the performance in actual building or tunnel environments may deviate from figures based on the free space method.
