Product Description – Model CA400-FOOT
AIR802 manufactures high performance cable. This 400-Series cable offers equivalent or better characteristics and performance than other existing industry cables such as Commscope WBC-400®, Times Microwave LMR-400®, Andrew CNT-400®, etc. This cable size is the most demanded and widely used coaxial cable in the wireless industry.
AIR802 CA400-FOOT is our superior Low Loss 400-Series coaxial cable offered per foot. CA400 is also available in 1000 and 500 foot reels or per 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. CA400 with its tough PE jacket is especially suited for long life outdoor use.
If your application is direct burial, our CA400 is also the best choice with it's polyethylene jacket (PE). Other jacket materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), TPE, etc. are inferior for direct burial. Also note that all flexible type 400-series cables on the market are built with PVC, TPE or other material. While PE jackets do not offer the same flexibility as other materials, this is the only material that any true engineer will recommend in a direct burial application for long term survivability underground.
