HELIAX® Andrew Virtual Air™ Cable for Wireless Applications The
lowest attenuation coaxial cable in the industry
With AVA coaxial cable, system designers and operators
can cut cable subsystem costs and gain tower height at the same time. Engineers
can now meet system link budgets using AVA5-50 7/8” coaxial cable in certain
taller tower applications instead of a 1-1/4” cable which would have previously
been required or AVA7-50 1-5/8” coaxial cable in site applications that would
normally require 2-1/4” cable. In addition, AVA7-50 can be used in typical 1-5/8”
applications with the benefit of lower system loss.
Manufactured worldwide, AVA cables can be at your site
quickly via our global distribution network. Or simply order an Andrew Solutions OnePackSM
Site Kit with AVA cable for even faster, more consistent site buildouts.
Designed and engineered with both your link and cost budgets
in mind, HELIAX AVA coaxial cable continues the long-standing tradition of quality
and excellence that HELIAX has delivered to the communication industry for decades.
