RFS' Corrugated Aluminum RF Coaxial Cables Provide the Best Solution to the Copper Crisis
COLOMBES, France, March 31, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), the global wireless and
broadcast infrastructure specialist, addresses growing issues of copper price
and security with a proven, high-performance aluminum-based RF coaxial cable
solution. RFS' CELLFLEX(R) Lite corrugated aluminum cable has an outstanding
track record, with not a single customer claim or return since its
introduction in 2006, clearly indicating that aluminum cables can match
copper for longevity and robustness.
The price of copper reached record levels in 2011, passing
10,000 USD/ton in February, and remains close to this historic high.
Accompanying these price worries are widespread attacks by thieves on copper
cables and infrastructure. Colonel Stephane Ottavi of France's OCLDI (Office
of crime against travel services) remarks that "The thefts faithfully reflect
prices", while in the UK, Chief Superintendent Eamonn Carroll of British
Transport Police states that "Cable theft is the next biggest priority after
the terrorist threat. The disruption and the problems it can cause are
immense."
Copper price and security risks are a major concern for
communication and transport leaders, and innovative companies such as RFS are
now offering aluminum RF coaxial cables as a proven, high-performance,
highly-reliable alternative to copper.
RFS CELLFLEX(R) Lite is a premium RF coaxial cable featuring
an aluminum outer conductor. CELLFLEX(R) Lite is lighter, enabling faster
installation, and is less expensive than a comparable copper cable. The
corrugated cable design also allows for excellent flexibility and crush
resistance.
The performance quality of CELLFLEX(R) Lite was confirmed last
year in rigorous testing by China Telecommunication Technology Labs (CTTL),
China's most authoritative independent laboratories.
In addition to the many positive qualities of CELLFLEX(R)
Lite, it uses the same connectors as RFS CELLFLEX(R) copper coaxial cables,
meaning that aluminum cables can be used alongside existing copper cables,
with absolutely no issues of compatibility.
CELLFLEX(R) Lite is available in sizes ranging from 1/2" to
1-5/8", and delivers superior performance in key areas, such as return loss,
attenuation, corrosion resistance and durability in extreme temperatures. RFS
provides every customer with a guarantee of reliability, performance and
cost-efficiency from the most experienced and innovative cable manufacturer
in the world.
"Since its introduction to customers five years ago,
CELLFLEX(R) Lite has maintained a flawless track record for performance and
reliability, with not a single complaint or return from any our customers,"
said Stephane Klajzyngier, President, Radio Frequency Systems. "The
corrugation and transparent connectivity of RFS' CELLFLEX(R) Lite range
simply make it the best solution to the copper crisis." added Klajzyngier.
