Andrew Corporation Introduces New HELIAX VXL6 and VXL7 Flexible Feeder Cables; Lower Site Costs, Reduce Tower Windloading, Maintain System Performance.Business Editors ORLAND PARK Or·land Park A village of northeast Illinois, a residential and manufacturing suburb of Chicago. Population: 53,300. , Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 28, 2000 Andrew Corporation Andrew Corporation is an American multinational producer of communications devices. Andrew is a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of communications equipment, services, and systems. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :ANDW) introduced two new cables in its HELIAX(R)VXL VXL Voxel (volume pixels) VXL Vision something Libraries series of flexible feeder cables. HELIAX(R) VXL6 and VXL7 cables are designed for use at co-located sites and difficult installation areas where flexible coaxial cable is needed. The new HELIAX VXL6 and VXL7 cables are lighter in weight than standard coaxial cables and have a tighter bending radius (10 inches for VXL6 and 15 inches for VXL7). These characteristics make them suitable for installation in tricky areas such as monopoles, lift shafts, co-located sites, or existing tower structures. VXL cables are lighter and smaller in diameter than comparable smooth-walled, semi-flexible cables. This helps to keep tower windloading to a minimum. The new HELIAX VXL6 and VXL7 cables provide a lower cost/higher performance feeder solution that is ideal for wireless applications. "With the growth of the wireless industry, optimal use of the existing infrastructure is needed," said Mike Guerin, Andrew Corporation's HELIAX Product Marketing Manager. "VXL cables cost less, weigh less, are easier to install, and provide exceptional and consistent performance." Speeding infrastructure installation and lowering site costs enables carriers to add new or improved services in a timely manner. The electrical performance of HELIAX VXL6 and VXL7 coaxial cables makes them suitable for carrying the higher frequencies required by the next generation of wireless communications networks. VXL6 and VXL7 cables have a closed-cell, foam polyethylene dielectric that prevents water migration and maintains its characteristics over time. For outstanding performance, the low-density foam offers low attenuation Loss of signal power in a transmission. Attenuation The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. characteristics similar to those of HELIAX LDF LDF Local Development Framework LDF Left Democratic Front (India) LDF Local Distribution Frame LDF LuraDocument Format (file extension) LDF Low Density Fiberboard series cables. Patented Andrew OnePiece(TM) connectors are available for use with HELIAX VXL6 and VXL7 cables. These connectors speed installation and provide attachment consistency. All OnePiece connectors have a moisture seal that protects electrical surfaces from the adverse effects of water ingress An entrance. Contrast with "egress," which means exit. See ingress traffic. See also Ingres 2006. . The connectors meet IP66 (water spray) and IP68 (water immersion) standards in both mated and unmated states. Also available in the VXL range is the HELIAX VXL5 cable. Introduced in 1999, this cable is fast becoming the preferred 7/8-inch cable solution for "jumperless" cable runs from the base station radio cabinet to the base station antenna.
