IWLAN RCoax cables
■
Overview
The RCoax cables are radiating cables that function as special
antennas for the SCALANCE W Access Points in environments
with complex radio coverage. Its design means that a defined,
cone-shaped radio field is generated along the RCoax cable.
The radiating cables are therefore perfectly suitable for use in all
types of applications with track-bound vehicles.
• Rugged coaxial cable which can be easily installed
• Two cables for use in the frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Connection as external antenna to SCALANCE W700 Access
Points
• Connection of mobile nodes via SCALANCE W700 Client
Modules using an antenna aligned to the RCoax
• Suitable for use in hazardous areas (Zone 2); no special
approvals necessary
■
Benefits
• Reliable coverage in areas problematic for radio
• Avoidance of greater than desired WLAN expansion by means
of defined emission of the radio waves
• Cost savings thanks to direct substitution of sliding contacts,
trailing cables, and data light barriers
• Highly flexible laying
■
Design
The RCoax cables were specially designed for the frequency
band around 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz respectively.
Openings are present in the outer conductor of the coaxial cable
which permit the penetration and emission of radio waves. A
defined radio field is then developed around the RCoax cables.
Longitudinal damping and extraction loss are in a balanced
relationship, which permits a long segment length of RCoax
cable per SCALANCE W700 Access Point and an appropriate
distance from the mobile station (SCALANCE W700) to the
RCoax cable.
Coordinated accessories are available for assembly:
• IWLAN RCoax cable clip 1/2"
• IWLAN RCoax spacer 85 mm
• IWLAN RCoax threaded washer M6
