M&P Airborne 5

The AIRBORNE 5 has 5 mm outer diameter like RG-58, but way less

attenuation, only 7dB/100m at 50 MHz, 3.8 less than RG-58. At

1 GHz 30dB/100m, 28 dB less compaired to RG-58! Because of the

low attenuation the cable is also suited for Wifi. 100m of this cable

weights only 2,3kg, about 1,4kg less than RG-58.

Very interesting for DXpeditions: extra charges from airlines for

excess baggage are reduced considerably this way.

The AIRBORNE 5 has a PE jacket with special UV protection and

can also be laid in salt water or into the ground permanently.

The air-foamed dielectric is triple, layered to prevent moisture from

soaking in. The braid is made of a light yet robust AlMg alloy,

additionally a plastic-coated foil is inserted. The screening

efficiency with a range of 100-2000 MHz is thus better than 105dB!

Both absorption of interferences (man-made noise or the signal of

neighbour stations when cables are laid parallel) and emission of

HF from the cable is reduced vastly. 

The cable's flexibility is amazing, which you will only realise when

you have held it in your own hands! AIRBORNE 5 is robust and very

resistant against treadingon it, temperature ranges from -40... +70 °C 

Capacity: 1200 W (2400 W PEP SSB, see above) at 3.5 MHz and 720 W

(1400 W PEP SSB) at 28 MHz.
