HOMOGENEOUS,EXPANDED PTFESTRUCTURES

COMPRESSION- RESISTANT ETFE CORES

Round geometry becomes oval in tightbends, causing low impedance sections incoaxial cables. Low impedance results in low phase shift and high VSWR.

DynaCore® technology produces smooth, homogeneous, low density PTFE structures with enhanced mechanical and electrical characteristics.

Competitive products apply multiple layers of PTFE tapes wrapped over each other, resulting in air gaps which cause variations in density and signal reflections.

Bend PTFE Tape DynaCoreRadius Ovality Ovality

2x outer 2.4% 0%diameter

DynaCore® has 5x more compression resistance than PTFE tape.

• 40 lbs/in equals the weight of the averageadult stepping on an unprotected section of DynaCore® with no measurable change in diameter.

• 80 lbs/in equals the force of an over-tightenedcable clamp, producing only a 1% change in the core diameter.
