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.
