Product Description – Model CA195R-RF500-B
AIR802® manufactures high performance cable. This 195-Series cable offers equivalent or better characteristics and performance than other existing industry cables such as Commscope’s WBC-195®, Times Microwave’s LMR-195®, Andrew’s CNT-195®, etc.
AIR802® CA195R-RF500-B is our superior low loss 195-Series coaxial cable packaged in 500 foot reels with a black colored jacket. We also offer this cable in 1000 foot reels. Black or white colored jackets are available in either the 500 or 100 foot reels. This cable is manufactured with a fire retardant black polyvinyl chloride (FR-PVC) jacket.
This cable is suitable for shorter antenna cable runs. CA195R is also a superior replacement for RG58, with considerably lower signal loss. For example at 2.4 GHz, 100 feet of RG58 would have 24.775 dB of signal loss versus only 18.61dB of signal loss with CA195R. Therefore our CA195 cable has 6.165 dB less signal loss over 100 feet of cable at the sample frequency of 2.4 GHz. See the comparison chart below for further comparisons.
