Certain avionics systems — TCAS, TCAD®, IHAS, for example— specify a range of antenna cable insertion lossrather than a maximum loss. The loss minimum may bedifficult to achieve in shorter cable lengths without coilingextra length of cable or inserting attenuators. Either situationadds weight and cost. This cable addresses these problems.S46191 is a 50 ohm coaxial cable, dimensionally equivalentto M17/128-RG400, but whose loss is greater by approximately8 dB per 100 feet at 1.0 GHz. RG400 is typically 15dB; S46191 is approximately 23 dB. In addition, S46191will provide at least 40% weight savings over RG400.A fluoropolymer jacket protects the cable against abrasionand environmental effects while maintaining flexibility forease of installation.It is Skydrol resistant, RoHS compliant and meets the FAAflammability requirements of FAR Part 23 and 25, AppendixF; complies with MIL-C-17 as applicable.
