Noun
The 400-Series Cable is a flexible, low-loss, high-performance coaxial cable commonly recognized as the standard antenna cable. It is used in:
- Wireless communication system assemblies
- Applications requiring some flexibility
- Short antenna feeder runs
Known for its 50 Ohm impedance, the 400-Series Cable offers low loss levels, effective RF (Radio Frequency) shielding, and one of the smallest bend radii among cables of similar size.
It provides excellent performance for Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) applications, making it particularly suitable in environments prone to electromagnetic interference.
Among flexible cables, it boasts one of the lowest attenuation levels, comparable to semi-rigid hard-line cables:
| Cable Type | Attenuation at 2.4 GHz | Attenuation at 5.8 GHz |
|---|---|---|
| 240 Series | 12.651 dB/100 feet 41.509 dB/100 meters |
20.35 dB/100 feet 66.769 dB/100 meters |
| 400 Series | 6.614 dB/100 feet 21.703 dB/100 meters |
10.821 dB/100 feet 35.504 dB/100 meters |
| 600 Series | 4.325 dB/100 feet 14.19 dB/100 meters |
7.261 dB/100 feet 23.825 dB/100 meters |
Example of 400-series cable in a sentence:
"400-series cables are perfect for scenarios requiring easily routed, low-loss RF cable, such as WiFi installations in homes."
