EUPEN Corrugated Copper Cable Eupen corrugated copper cable offers better electrical performance and greater long-term durability when compared to other corrugated and all smoothwalled cables. Eupen's very low loss, high mechanical strength and excellent flexibility, make it the best choice for the stringent requirements of today’s 50 Ohm wireless applications. Eupen's innovative design, careful choice of raw materials, consistent manufacturing processes and stringent quality assurance systems, result in a cable with superior performance. This allows Eupen to offer the best warranty in the industry – 12 years.

Eupen cable products, with low density cellular polyethylene foam dielectric and ring-corrugated copper outer conductor feature:
• Very Low Loss
• High Crush Resistance
• Excellent Flexibility
• Longitudinal Watertightness
The dielectric is a cellular polyethylene foam manufactured by a proprietary process using ozone-friendly expansion gas. A high foaming ratio guarantees low attenuation and provides superior structural support of the conductors. The foam is bonded to the inner conductor by a pre-coat layer. This ensures good adhesion while also allowing easy and clean removal of the dielectric during connector installation. The ring corrugation of the copper outer conductor mechanically retains the dielectric. In addition, the dielectric is adhered to the outer conductor. This construction prevents relative movement between the inner and the outer conductor due to bending, pulling,
and temperature variations. Eupen standard cable features a weather-resistant black Durathene™ PE jacket, suitable for indoor, outdoor or underground installation. UV protection is provided by 5% carbon black. Additional colors and fire retardant jackets are available upon request. Electrical specifications of Eupen cable are unsurpassed. Every reel is swept for attenuation and return
loss before it leaves the factory. When terminated with Eupen connectors, return loss is typically better than 30 dB and guaranteed to be at least 25 dB, up to 2.5 Ghz. Eupen attenuation specifications are the best in the industry. Eupen offers corrugated copper cable in a complete range of sizes from 1/4" to 2 1/4" to fit all requirements. Eupen offers the most advanced low loss cable in the
three primary feeder sizes:

• EC5-50A 7/8" Low Loss
• EC6-50A 1 1/4" Low Loss
• EC7-50A 1 5/8" Low Loss

All coaxial cables are constructed in accordance with MIL spec MIL-C-28830. Wireless, microwave, and broadcast communication systems require high quality coaxial cable and connections for very low loss and high power signal transmission. Eupen cable and connectors are specifically designed to meet the needs of these modern radio communications systems.

The connector is arguably the single most important component in the feeder system. It must be both easy to install and provide a high degree of long lasting electrical and mechanical performance. Eupen connectors are designed for fast, easy, and reliable installation. Eupen offers the most innovative and advanced connector installation tooling available. See more about connector installation in the Tool section of this catalog. For long term stable performance a connector must accomplish three things:
• It must be watertight.
• It must have RF transparency.
• It must maintain contact force and surface area.

The connector functions as the first line of defense against water ingress. Eupen connectors are equipped with heavy gauge, high compression silicone rubber O-rings, designed to seat in the corrugation valley – not on the peak, and not on the jacket where effectiveness would be minimal at best. Eupen connectors are rated to meet or exceed IP 68 waterproof specifications. Eupen connectors are designed with RF transparency in mind. The heavy-duty bodies are machined Materials Used in the Connector:
External Parts: Passivated silver-plated or electroless nickel-plated brass Outer Contact: Passivated silver-plated brass
Inner Contact: Passivated silver-plated Cu-Be and brass
Dielectric: PTFE/TPX precisely so that Impedance is held to exacting levels, allowing the lowest possible reflection loss. Patented connector designs are the key to Eupen connectors' long-term performance stability. Eupen connectors are designed to have elastic junctions. Compared to the conventional copper alloys used by other manufacturers, Eupen's use of silver-plated, beryllium-copper spring finger contacts provides superior and sustained mechanical elasticity. Eupen's unique mechanical design coupled with the use of
beryllium-copper creates high pressure RF connections. This ensures that Eupen connectors will maintain their low loss and low PIM performance for the life of your system. The Eupen MonoBlock connector stands at the forefront of modern connector design. It is absolutely the most reliable, highest performing 50 Ohm coaxial connector available today. This design is available for all three
primary feeder sizes: EC5, EC6 and EC7. The MonoBlock connector, together with the latest advancements in Eupen Low Loss cable, offers a total network feeder system package delivering performance and reliability untouched by any other product – or combination of products – on the market.
