Designed by RADIALL, ECO230 is an
advantageous alternative solution to 5 mm dia.
cables when higher power level is required:
• Advantageous in term of electrical
performance:
its optimized construction allows
better attenuation and screening effectiveness
than RG cables.
• Advantageous in term of environmental
aspect:
halogen and sulphur free, this cable
does not emit any toxic substance when
submitted to fire.
The flame retardant jacket allows ECO230 to
meet fire resistance standards.
• Advantageous in term of price: ECO230
design has integrated all RADIALL knowledge
to reach the best performances with a very
competitive price.
ECO230 is UL style 1375 approved.

This LMR200 type cable can be considered
as an alternative to equivalent diameter
corrugated cables.
The main advantage is greater flexibility and
bendability allowing easy routing during the
installation.
The foam dielectric provides excellent loss
and low return loss levels.
The double screen construction (Aluminum
foil + tinned copper braid) offers a high level
of shielding as well as low leakage.
This cable will be advised for feeder and
jumper assemblies in cellular networks as
well as applications requiring easy routing.
