HBF058-13U1SS3-xxF Series
HYBRIFLEX® RRH Hybrid Jumper, 5/8", 1 pair 6AWG, 3 Single Strand, Single-Mode Fiber with LC to LC/FullAXS Compatible Connectors

Rev : A | Rev date : 07 Jan 2022

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

RFS’ HYBRIFLEX Remote Radio Head (RRH) hybrid feeder cabling solution combines optical fiber and DC power for RRHs in a single lightweight aluminum corrugated cable, making it the world’s most innovative solution for RRH deployments. It was developed to reduce installation complexity and costs at Cellular sites. HYBRIFLEX allows mobile operators deploying an RRH architecture to standardize the RRH installation process. HYBRIFLEX combines optical fiber (multi-mode or single-mode) and power in a single corrugated cable. It may eliminate the need for junction boxes and can connect multiple RRHs with a single feeder. Standard RFS CELLFLEX® accessories can be used with HYBRIFLEX cable.

FEATURES / BENEFITS

  • Aluminum corrugated armor with outstanding bending characteristics - Minimizes installation time and enables mechanical protection and shielding
  • Outer conductor grounding - Saves on installation costs
  • Lightweight solution and compact design - Decreases tower loading
  • Robust cabling - Eliminates need for expensive cable trays and ducts
  • Installation of tight bundled fiber optic cable pairs directly to the RRH - Reduces CAPEX and wind load by eliminating need for interconnection
  • Optical fiber and power cables housed in single corrugated cable - Saves CAPEX by standardizing RRH cable installation and reducing installation requirements
  • UL-Listed, flame-retardant jacket, UV protected assembles - Allows both indoor and outdoor applications
  • 100% Factory tested - Online test results available

PRE-PACKED HYBRIFLEX KITS FOR EASY INTEGRATION INTO RAYCAP JUNCTION BOXES

RFS now offers Kitting options for most hybrid risers and jumpers that include both the cable assembly and the Raycap inserts. For reference, kits have a “K” as the third digit in the model number. HB158 does not require an additional gland/insert for proper installation and sealing into the Distribution Boxes.
