1/4″ LDF Cable is engineered for applications where compact size and reliable signal transmission are important. It provides a balance between performance and physical size, making it suitable for various RF and microwave applications, including telecommunications and broadcasting.

Specifications:

  1. Construction:
    • Center Conductor: Usually made from solid or stranded copper, often silver-plated to improve conductivity and reduce signal attenuation.
    • Dielectric Insulation: Typically consists of a foam polyethylene (PE) or a similar low-loss dielectric material, which supports the center conductor and provides electrical insulation.
    • Shielding:
      • Inner Shield: Features a foil shield (commonly aluminum) to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintain signal integrity.
      • Outer Shield: Includes a braided shield, often made from tinned copper or aluminum, for additional protection and reduced signal leakage.
    • Outer Jacket: Made from a durable and flexible material such as PVC or a weather-resistant polymer, designed to protect the internal components and provide mechanical flexibility.
  2. Electrical Characteristics:
    • Impedance: 50 Ohms, standard for most RF and microwave applications.
    • Frequency Range: Suitable for frequencies up to about 2 GHz to 4 GHz, depending on the specific design and manufacturer.
    • Attenuation: Low attenuation, typically around 10-15 dB per 100 feet at 1 GHz, ensuring minimal signal loss over short distances.
    • Return Loss: Generally ≥ 20 dB, indicating good impedance matching and minimal signal reflection.
  3. Mechanical Characteristics:
    • Flexibility: Offers moderate flexibility, making it suitable for installations where the cable needs to be bent or routed through tight spaces.
    • Temperature Range: Operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, though specific ranges can vary depending on the cable’s construction and materials.
  4. Physical Dimensions:
    • Diameter: Approximately 1/4 inch (6.35 mm), making it compact and suitable for use in applications with space constraints.
    • Weight: Lightweight due to its small diameter and construction, which aids in ease of handling and installation.

Applications:

  • Telecommunications: Used in communication systems, including antenna feeds and base stations, where compact size and reliable performance are necessary.
  • Broadcasting: Employed in television and radio broadcasting systems for high-frequency signal transmission.
  • RF Systems: Ideal for RF systems where low attenuation and minimal signal loss are critical.
  • Laboratory Work: Suitable for laboratory environments where flexible and high-performance cabling is required.

Example Part Numbers:

  • Manufacturer: Commonly produced by companies like CommScope (Andrew), Times Microwave Systems, and others.
  • Part Number Example: CommScope LDF4-50A or similar. Verify the exact part number and specifications with the supplier or manufacturer.

Datasheet:

For detailed specifications, including attenuation values, electrical performance, and construction details, refer to the datasheet provided by the manufacturer. This datasheet will offer comprehensive information to ensure that the 1/4″ LDF cable meets your specific application requirements.

Visual Inspection and Installation:

  • Connector Compatibility: Ensure that connectors are compatible with the 1/4″ LDF cable and are correctly installed to avoid performance issues.
  • Cable Handling: Handle with care to avoid excessive bending or stress. The cable’s flexibility should be managed to maintain optimal performance.
  • Shielding Integrity: Inspect the shielding to ensure it is intact and properly connected to prevent signal interference.
