FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What is the difference between CX-11230/G and CX-11230A/G?

CX-11230/G uses a heavy-duty polychloroprene (neoprene) outer jacket per the original MIL-C-55036 specification, while CX-11230A/G upgrades the outer jacket to arctic-grade polyether polyurethane (PUR) with aramid reinforcement, reducing cable weight by ~15 % and increasing tensile strength to 1,800 N.

Why does CX-11230/G contain two separate coaxial cores inside one round jacket?

Tactical radio relay, troposcatter and command-post modems use full-duplex baseband or IF transmission—one coaxial core carries the transmit (TX) signal plus DC phantom power while the second isolated coaxial core carries the receive (RX) signal with ≥ 85 dB near-end crosstalk isolation.

Can we order the hybrid CX-11230A/G-2FO with both coaxial and optical fibres?

Yes. The hybrid variant places two 900 µm bend-insensitive ITU-T G.657.A2 optical fibres in the interstices alongside the two 50 Ω coaxial cores, allowing legacy coax systems and modern 10G optical transceivers to share a single deployable field cable.

What reel lengths are standard for field deployment?

We supply bulk production lengths of 500 m and 1,000 m, as well as tactical payout reels of 100 m (328 ft), 200 m, and 400 m (1/4 mile).
