RET (Remote Electrical Tilt) makes it possible to adjust the angle of an antenna remotely. In mobile radio networks, temporary antenna alignment is used for optimizing the network geographically on specific hotspots where higher capaicty is temorarily required.

These cables offer a flexible solution to connect the RRU or MCU to the antenna, allowing for a flexible movement.

The cables are provided with 8 pin female to male connector according to IEC 60130-9.

Flame retardant design according to UL 1581-1061, UL 1685 and IEC603321-3-24.

Cable and connectors are sealed according to IP67 (when mated).

Cable ø 6.4 mm
