With AVA coaxial cable, system designers and operators
can cut cable subsystem costs and gain tower height at the same time. Engineers
can now meet system link budgets using AVA5-50 7/8” coaxial cable in certain
taller tower applications instead of a 1-1/4” cable which would have previously
been required or AVA7-50 1-5/8” coaxial cable in site applications that would
normally require 2-1/4” cable. In addition, AVA7-50 can be used in typical 1-5/8”
applications with the benefit of lower system loss.
Manufactured worldwide, AVA cables can be at your site
quickly via our global distribution network. Or simply order an Andrew Solutions OnePackSM
Site Kit with AVA cable for even faster, more consistent site buildouts.
Designed and engineered with both your link and cost budgets
in mind, HELIAX AVA coaxial cable continues the long-standing tradition of quality
and excellence that HELIAX has delivered to the communication industry for decades.

CommScope coaxial cables are specifically engineered for 75 ohm HFC broadband networks in a wide selection of sizes and constructions. Coax cable choices are determined by the application and performance requirement.
Coax Cable Shielding Options Shielding is a very important consideration in the selection of the appropriate cable construction for a given network application. To meet the various needs of our customers, CommScope’s coax line features a range of shielding options including standard shield (foil / braid), Tri-Shield (foil/braid/foil) and SuperShield (foil/braid/foil/braid).
Standard Shield - CommScope's basic cable construction of fully bonded foil with a layer of shielding braid offers world class performance within an economical design.
Tri-Shield - Based on CommScope’s standard cable construction of fully bonded foil alternated with a layer of shielding braid, Tri-Shield adds an additional surrounding layer of foil to improve transmission reliability by means of an additional interference barrier.
SuperShield (Quad Shield) – Taking the Tri-Shield construction one step further, this construction adds an additional layer of shielding braid to provide the greatest strength, durability and immunity from network interference.
CommScope offers a full range of cable sizes to meet every application.
