Environmentally friendly coaxial cables

The ENVIROFLEX cable family enables now users to quickly switch from fluorine-containing cables to halogen-free alternatives.

Features and benefits

  • 2nd source supplier availability
  • UL approved
  • completely free of halogen
  • flame retardant
  • easy to dispose of
  • dimension identical to PTFE bearing RG cable types
  • standard RF connectors can be used
  • excellent solderability (leadfree up to +280 °C)

The materials used in the cable design - both for the dielectric and for the jacket - do not include any fluorine-consisting plastics. On the other hand, the dimensions of the individual cable types are entirely compatible with the international de-facto RG standards, as well as the excellently established HUBER+SUHNER cable type K 02252 D which corresponds to RG 316 /U but is equipped with a double braid.

Standard connectors can be used without any restrictions with the new ENVIROFLEX cable family.

HUBER+SUHNER's control of various key technologies has proven to be an invaluable advantage while designing this new product family. The PE is foamed just to the point where a dielectric constant of 2.0 is obtained to ensure dimensional compatibility with the RG types.

Radiation cross-linking allows the maximum application temperature of polyethylene to be increased from +80 °C to +105 °C. This extended range covers most applications. It allows operation in a higher power range and connectors with soldered inner conductors can be applied. In addition, the ENVIROFLEX family uses LSFH (Low Smoke Halogen-Free) - our RADOX® materials featuring an active flame protection.
