Performance: 40kW peak power handling with >90dB RF shielding
The 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable from Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. is a heavy-duty 50 ohm feeder cable engineered for demanding radio frequency transmission systems. Featuring a 41.28 mm corrugated copper outer conductor, a 36.5 mm closed-cell foam PE dielectric, and a 17.3 mm copper-clad aluminum center conductor, this 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable achieves ultra-low attenuation across long transmission runs. Enclosed within a durable 46.5 mm Black PE jacket, this high-power RF feeder cable delivers 89% velocity of propagation and robust mechanical protection for cellular base stations, broadcast towers, and outdoor wireless networks requiring uncompromised signal integrity.
In high-power telecommunications and broad-scale broadcasting networks, minimizing transmission line loss is vital for system performance. The 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable manufactured by Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. serves as a primary RF feeder cable designed specifically for permanent outdoor tower runs, high-power broadcast systems, and base station main feeds.
Unlike standard braided or foil coaxial cables that experience high attenuation and signal degradation over long distances, this 50 ohm feeder cable utilizes a solid annular corrugated copper outer tube. This solid outer shell creates a seamless electromagnetic barrier with shielding effectiveness exceeding 90 dB. The structural design eliminates signal leakage, blocks external electromagnetic interference, and maintains precise 50 ohm impedance throughout demanding environmental conditions.
Internally, the 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable incorporates a high-expansion 36.5 mm foam PE dielectric surrounding a 17.3 mm copper-clad aluminum inner conductor. This material selection optimizes electrical conductivity while significantly lowering overall cable weight compared to solid copper core alternatives. The closed-cell foam structure prevents water migration along the inner core, protecting electrical stability against moisture ingress. Wrapped in a UV-resistant 46.5 mm black polyethylene jacket, this corrugated copper feeder cable withstands continuous thermal cycles, severe weather, and physical stress in harsh outdoor environments.
Solid Corrugated Copper Outer Shielding: The 41.28 mm annular corrugated copper outer conductor delivers continuous 100% electromagnetic shielding (>90 dB) and high structural stability.
Ultra-Low Attenuation Characteristics: Designed for long-distance runs, achieving exceptionally low signal loss (3.3 dB/100m at 900 MHz and 5.8 dB/100m at 2.4 GHz).
High-Velocity Dielectric Architecture: The 36.5 mm closed-cell foam PE dielectric supports an outstanding 89% velocity of propagation while blocking longitudinal water movement.
High Power Handling Capacity: Supports up to 40 kW peak power ratings and voltage withstand levels of 8000V DC for high-output transmitter connections.
Heavy-Duty Weatherproof Protection: The 46.5 mm black PE jacket provides long-term UV stabilization and thermal operating stability ranging from -40°C to +85°C.
Optimized Center Conductor: The 17.3 mm copper-clad aluminum center conductor leverages the skin effect to deliver copper-grade RF performance with reduced mass.
As feeder length increases on cell towers or broadcast masts, RF attenuation directly reduces transmitter efficiency and coverage area. Smaller cables like 1/2" or 7/8" feeders suffer significantly higher insertion loss over extended distances.
The 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable engineered by Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. solves this power loss issue through its substantial physical diameter and solid outer conductor. By minimizing internal conductor resistance (DC loop resistance at 0.8 ohm/km), this 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable ensures maximum power transfer from transmitter shelter equipment to top-mounted antennas.
High-frequency alternating current moves predominantly along the outer surface layer of a conductor—a principle known as the skin effect. By utilizing a precision 17.3 mm copper-clad aluminum inner core, this RF feeder cable places high-conductivity copper exactly where the RF energy travels, while maintaining a lightweight aluminum interior core. This construction maintains top-tier signal transmission efficiency while keeping cable weight at 1.85 kg/m, reducing structural load on tower climbing legs and cable hangers.

Serves as the primary vertical transmission line for cellular installations and private mobile radio towers. The 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable from Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. links ground-based shelter transmitters directly to tower-top antenna systems.
Ideal for FM radio, VHF television, and digital audio broadcasting masts where high RF power levels (up to 40 kW) must be carried over long vertical feeder runs with minimal signal loss.
Functions as the primary trunk line for large-scale indoor DAS deployments in stadium arenas, underground transit systems, and high-rise commercial structures where combined RF signals are routed across multiple floors.
The robust corrugated copper shield and protective black PE outer jacket enable this 50 ohm feeder cable to resist harsh marine salt spray on offshore oil platforms and maritime communication vessels.
Partnering with Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. for 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable procurement delivers direct operational and economic advantages:
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): High physical durability and resistance to moisture migration prevent cable degradation, substantially reducing emergency tower maintenance and line replacement expenses.
Enhanced System Power Efficiency: Low attenuation properties reduce power waste in transmitter systems, cutting long-term operational energy costs for network operators.
Custom B2B Manufacturing Options: Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. provides customized cable lengths, project-specific jacket markings, custom reel packaging, and pre-terminated cable assemblies fitted with tested 7/16 DIN, 4.3-10, HN, or EIA Flange interfaces.
Guaranteed Factory Quality: Every batch produced by Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. undergoes stringent factory testing for return loss, VSWR, and electrical continuity prior to shipment.
Q: How does this 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable compare to flexible braid coaxial cables?
A: Unlike braided cables that use wire meshes and foils, this 1-5/8" corrugated feeder cable utilizes a solid copper outer tube. This design provides significantly lower signal attenuation, higher power handling capacity (40 kW peak), superior shielding (>90 dB), and extended operational lifespan in harsh weather environments.
Q: What are the key installation requirements for this size feeder cable?
A: Installation requires maintaining a minimum bend radius of 250 mm to avoid kinking the solid outer copper tube. Because of the cable weight (1.85 kg/m), vertical tower runs require certified cable support grips to prevent physical strain on the upper connector interfaces.
Q: Can Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. supply factory-terminated cable assemblies?
A: Yes. Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. manufactures complete factory-terminated assemblies with 7/16 DIN, 4.3-10, or EIA Flange connectors, each fully tested for low VSWR and long-term environmental sealing.
