Radiating cable IWLAN RCoax cable
In environments that make it difficult to use wireless or when the node only moves along
predefined rails, it is sometimes preferable to replace omnidirectional antennas with an
RCoax radiating cable. The radiating cable is a special antenna in the form of a thick, flexible
cable that produces an RF field with high intensity but only over a very limited range. As long
as it can be guaranteed that the communication partner moves in an area close to the
RCoax cable, the radiating cable provides a reliable RF field and an excellent connection to
the nodes.
● Reliable coverage in difficult wireless areas, for example, cranes, high bay loader units,
transfer paths, tunnels or suspended monorails
● Generation of a cone-shaped limited RF field
● Cost savings due to direct substitution of sliding contacts and trailing cables
● Highly flexible application
