DXE-F6 - 75 Ω F-6 Style, Direct Bury Coaxial Cable: Full Spool or Custom Cable Assemblies
DX Engineering recommends using a high quality 75 Ω “flooded” F6 type coaxial cable. Flooded style cables have
the distinct advantage of automatically sealing small accidental cuts or lacerations of the jacket. Flooding also
prevents shield contamination and can be direct-buried. This low-loss cable features dual shields and an 85% Velocity
Factor.
Custom cable assemblies are available, Call DX Engineering for details.
DXE-SNS6
Snap-N-Seal connectors are recommended for use with this coaxial cable to ensure a high quality and
weather resistant feedline connection. The proper tool
DXE-SNS-CT1
must be used to install these connectors.
DXE-CPT-659 - Coax Cable Stripper for CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable.
Coax Cable Stripper for CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable.
Includes 1 Replacement Blade - DXE-CPT-659
Prepares CATV F-6, RG-6 and RG-59 coaxial cable for the installation of "F" type connectors - One-step cutting
motion
Precision cut
No nicks or scratches to conductor
DXE-SNS6-25 - Watertight Coaxial Connector, Snap-N-Seal for CATV F-6 Cable, 25 pieces
Snap-N-Seal is an environmentally sealed CATV F coaxial connector system for harsh environments. The connectors have a unique,
360 degree radial compression system that offers the signal leakage protection required for high performance receive systems.
Quad sealed system prevents moisture from migrating into the connection
360 degree radial compression provides superior RF integrity (-95 dB typical, 60% bonded foil cable)
Easy cable preparation
Connector to cable retention of 40 lbs minimum
Superb impedance match to 1 GHz
Manufactured of high quality 360 brass, cadmium plated for maximum corrosion resistance
UV-resistant plastic and O-rings provide a reliable environmentally sealed connector
An installation tool, such as the
DXE-SNS-CT1
is required to install the connectors. Normal crimping tools or
pliers will not work.
DXE-SNS-CT1 - Compression Tool for Snap-N-Seal 75 Ω Coaxial Connectors
Ratchet compression tool for installing
DXE-SNS6
Snap-N-Seal coaxial connectors.
Ordinary pliers will not install these connectors properly.
DXE-RPA-1 - Receiver Preamplifier 0.3-35 MHz
This is the best HF low noise amplifier available. The RPA-1 is optimized for 0.3-35 MHz operating range. The push-pull amplifier
design and robust components enable it to withstand high signal levels and operate when you need it most. The dynamic range of the
RPA-1 is better than most receivers. The RPA-1 is suitable for indoor or outdoor installation, with the option of being powered
through the coaxial feed. The metal housing provides shielding and improved lifespan. The unit uses RCA type phono jack and
CATV F connector for the input and output connections, and has a relay that automatically bypasses the amplifier when dc power is
removed.
Benefits:
Push-pull operation eliminates harmonic distortion
High quiescent current increases ability to handle strong signals without distortion or overload
Meticulous craftsmanship and durable components provide superior dynamic range
RCA type phono jack and type F connector ease installation
Simplified switching - automatic bypass eliminates gain when dc power is off
10-18 Vdc power using power connector or through the coax
10-18 Vdc through coax enables remote operation at antenna
