Introduction to Speedfoam low loss coaxial cables

The Habia Cable Group is a world leader in the manufacture of coaxial cables. Our three cable production sites in Sweden, Germany and China offer a wide range of products, from Teflon and PE based RG Style cables through our massively successful Flexiform conformable cable, to our high performance Multibend cables.

The Speedfoam coaxial cable range from Habia is engineered to be low-loss and high performance yet flexible and tough. These cables fulfil all but the most demanding RF interconnect specifications; combining a low-loss dielectric with exceptional levels of screening effectiveness, this range is available in a number of options.

One of our strengths is in tailoring our products to meet specific customer needs. For more information, please contact your local sales office or visit www.habia.com.

Speedfoam - Low Loss Coaxial

Speedfoam is a halogen free coaxial cable using a precision foamed polyolefin dielectric to provide low-loss properties in a flexible, light-weight package. A highly effective foil / braid combination gives Speedfoam excellent screening effectiveness for use in a wide range of applications such as vehicle interconnection,
land mobile radio systems, wireless LAN (local area network) and low end radar applications.

Speedfoam F - Flexible Low Loss Coaxial

Speedfoam F offers all the low-loss, low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) properties of the standard Speedfoam with the added benefits of a stranded centre conductor and soft and flexible outer jacket for improved flexibility and flex-life. Ease of installation in confined spaces such as cabinets is improved, as is the cable’s ability to withstand the constant vibration and movement associated with many vehicle based applications.

Speedfoam HT - High Temperature, Low Loss Coaxial

Speedfoam HT is a high-power version of Speedfoam. Using our unique low density PTFE dielectric, Speedfoam HT offers much higher temperature and power ratings are ideal for high-power RF systems. The high-performance nature of the Speedfoam HT product makes it ideal for military, land forces use and as such Speedfoam 240 HT has been tested and approved for use by the UK Ministry of Defence, with approval pending for the Speedfoam 400 HT.
Further information can be found on the Speedfoam HT page.

Speedfoam UL - UL Spec. Low Loss Coaxial

Speedfoam UL is designed to fulfil the demands of UL Style 1375. Speedfoam UL offers the excellent physical and electrical benefits of the standard Speedfoam, including low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) and flame retardancy. Speedfoam UL is ideal for general low-loss RF such as mobile antennas runs and jumper assemblies; where 3rd party approval is required.

Speedfoam XL - Ruggedized, Low Loss Coaxial

Speedfoam XL uses radiation cross-linked materials to enhance the flex-life, temperature range and mechanical proper ties of the standard Speedfoam product. Especially ideal for military applications where the cable will be exposed to environmental extremes and rough handling.

Halogen Free Cable

As well as the benfits of a low loss cable, the addition of a highly flame retardant jacket provides a halogen free cable with low smoke generation and flame retardant properties.

Custom Variations

The full Speedfoam range is available with a number of customer variations to provide low loss cables for specific applications. Please contact your local sales office for further information.
