Hiconnex is an official distributor for CommScope Wireless, an American cable company that offers a broad array of cable solutions for wireless applications - including mobile, fixed and in-building wireless networks. It provides advanced coaxial, twisted pair and fibre-optic cable technology to create the networks that provide wireless access for applications in the home, office and for remote environments.

CommScope Wireless' Cell Reach and Extremeflex are a complete line of 50 Ω smooth wall coaxial cables, factory-assembled jumpers, connectors, accessory hardware and tools that are designed specifically for wireless transmission line systems. The CommScope feeder and jumper cable technology are designed to offer superior broadband electrical performance, reliability and technical advantages for global network operators and providers.

The main features and benefits of the cable technology are:

* Broadband performance: single cable delivers high specification RF performance regardless of operational frequency requirements.

* Smooth-wall cable: the secure, simple, efficient and repeatable connectorisation delivers improved PIM performance (eg, PIM 7th order product is over -180 dBc.

* Fully-bonded composite cable: offers guaranteed protection against water ingress and migration - lighter yet more robust than alternative products.

* Lower life-cycle costs: improved network performance and reduced network costs compared to corrugated cable.

The company's WBC range is a low-loss 50 Ω braided flexible cable designed for land mobile radio, paging, WLL, mobile, fixed wireless and in-building wireless networks. CommScope also provides UTP and fibre-optic cable for a variety of network applications. Additionally, it offers installers free training for Cell Reach and Extremeflex products.
