nonisound Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi, Can anyone share experience using EcoFlex 10 Low-Loss Antenna cable. It has really good technical references. I am curious how easy is to wrap a cable on a long distance if it's not on a reel drum. Thanks Noni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbt Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hello, Depends on what you call long distance. I'm using Ecoflex 10 cables, as well as RG213 cables, on a regular basis. Usually they are 10 to 20 meters long, so I would not consider that long distance at all. Still here is what I could say: It is rather bulky, but definitely manageable by hand (I never use a reel drum for them). I guess a cable up to 50 meter long might still be manageable by hand, but that would be the limit, and it's only an estimation: I might be wrong. Ecoflex 10 cannot bend as much as the audio cables we are used to, so it usually make a roll with a slightly larger diameter. It would also mean that if a reel drum would be needed, it's diameter should be sufficiently large to accommodate it. Hope it helps, Best regards. Laurent.

nonisound Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Laurent, Thanks for the detailed description. I ordered two times 50m long, that will be use for longer runs, and Aircell 7 for shorter ,5 m . I am looking forward to try them, as they have great technical characteristic.
