Why hasn’t somebody thought of this before …

one might ask when taking a closer look at the construction of the SC-AQUA MARINEX ASTRAL LLX 1.13/5.0.

Who talks to electricians will often be pointed to the following problem: conventional satellite cables are actually only restrictedly suitable for outdoor applications although they are used in 95% of all home connections and cause transmission problems there time and again. These common white cables with a PVC jacket are mostly not UV-resistant, they are not transversely watertight and at the connectors the moisture creeps into the cable interior, they are not really unobtrusive and they offer no protection against rodents or caustic bird droppings.

Due to global warming rodent stocks keep going up worldwide and these basically cute little animals cause more and more discontent and damages in the field of electrical installations in buildings. The SC-AQUA MARINEX ASTRAL LLX 1.13/5.0 has been designed to make it as hard as possible for the attackers to damage the cable.

For this purpose we use a hard and tough AQUA MARINEX PUR jacket without the typical plasticizer which otherwise literally attracts rodents. The smooth surface of the outer jacket makes it difficult for the animals to put on their teeth. Moreover, the cable is reinforced by an almost impenetrable aramid braid which can also be used as an additional strain relief.

The outer jacket is ideal for permanent outdoor installations and offers lifelong UV resistance.

Apart from the weather-resistant and rodent-proof construction, the cable excels by consistently superb damping values and an optimum HDTV transmission quality due to its high-class shielding. The additionally integrated protective banding enables a permanent underwater installation; thus the cable is not only suitable for outdoor applications or in tunnel or surveillance engineering, but also for installations e.g. in the shipbuilding industry (here the fire prevention regulations must be observed).

For connector assembly SOMMER CABLE recommends their HICON HI-FM08 F-antenna connector, the FM-5.8 or BNC connectors in the 1.3/5.7 version.

SC-AQUA MARINEX ASTRAL-LLX Old as Methuselah ... and still be fit and look like a youngster. The SC-ASTRAL-LLX has a patented construction of carbon fibre screens around the solid conductor and insulation, as well as a protective polyester film under the PVC outer sheath. This avoids material fatigue, guarantees constant and lowest attenuation values and a shielding factor of 120 dB for decades to come. In addition, the two carbon shields stabilise the solid conductor and the skin PE insulation. As a result, the cable retains its round shape and electrical values, even after installation. The SC-ASTRAL-LLX fulfils the HD-SDI standard and is suitable for long runs in large SAT reception systems. It is also available as an ARAMID-reinforced AQUA MARINEX version.Advantages:Excellent transmission quality and damping valuesConsistent values even after installation for decades due to patented anti-aging constructionFor analog and digital applications, HD-SDI transmission qualityIncluding aramid reinforcementApplication:High-end cable for broadband cable TV and digital SAT equipmentFor professional HDTV applications
