CA600-RF500 is a 50 ohm low loss 600-series cable identical to Times Microwaves LMR-600 in a 500 feet bulk reel.
Product Description AIR802 Model CA600-RF500
AIR802® manufactures high performance cable. Our CA600 series cable offers equivalent or better characteristics and performance than other existing industry cables such as Commscope WBC-600®, Times Microwave LMR-600®, Andrew CNT-600®, etc. AIR802 CA600 coaxial cable is very popular for tower use and other applications requiring extremely low loss cable.
AIR802 CA600-RF500 is our superior low loss 600-Series coaxial cable offered in a 500 foot bulk reel. We also offer CA600 cable in a 1000 foot reel or by the foot or meter. It is manufactured with a polyethylene (PE) jacket which is UV resistant, and is built to withstand harsh temperatures, grease and oil, chemicals, salt water, abrasions and offers a 20 year plus lifespan. CA600 with its tough PE jacket is especially suited for long life outdoor use.
Pre-made antenna cable assemblies are also available from this cable in various lengths and connector options.
