Putting it into cable ducts or behind false ceilings with screening effects would influence the performance severely. the installation material has to fulfill safety aspects in case of a fire impact. Using CLIC-clamps and round bases ensures a quick fastening of the cable by just pushing the cable into the clamp by hand. Generally. there already has to be considered basic rules where to install the cable. It depends on the cable size of the cable to be installed. the RF transmitted and received by the cable follows the same principal physical rules as for a common compact antenna. RFS RADIAFLEX® THE OPTIMAL CONFINED-COVERAGE SOLUTION This is most common kind of installation of RADIAFLEX®. Those CLIC-clamps are easily snapped onto the heavy-duty clamp without the need of any tool. 13 . the offered installation material guarantees the correct installation of the cable for all frequencies. a minimum clamp spacing is recommended. a radiating cable always requires a minimum distance from the walls and other cables. which have to be considered during the system planning phase.3 m (12“) for RSF12-50 0.
