Leaky Cable: Special Coaxial Cable for Signal Coverage

Leaky cable is a special coaxial cable with a series of slots or gaps on its outer conductor. This allows signals inside the cable to radiate electromagnetic waves into the surrounding space and also receive electromagnetic waves from the surroundings. It’s commonly used in places where wireless signal coverage is difficult, such as underground tunnels, mines, and subways.

Advantages of the product

Ideal for Difficult - to - cover Areas

Specifically used in underground tunnels, mines, and subways where wireless signal coverage is difficult to achieve.

Dual - function Signal Transmission

Serves both as a signal transmission and emission medium, optimizing signal distribution in enclosed spaces.

The specifications of leaky cables are to include parameters like the attenuation, outer diameter, coupling loss and the passband frequency range. These cables are designed to radiate and receive signals through their entire length. Here, the term "attenuation" describes the loss of signal while in “coupling loss,” most signal losses at the specific points restore the described strength of the signal radiated or received.



common problem

How does leaky cable transmit and radiate signals?

As signals travel through the inner conductor, some of the energy leaks out through the slots or gaps on the outer conductor, radiating electromagnetic waves. It can also receive external electromagnetic waves in the same way.
Yes. In areas with complex environments where traditional antennas have difficulty providing comprehensive coverage, leaky cable can be used as an alternative to achieve better signal coverage.
Yes. There are different types of leaky cables, varying in the design of slots, frequency bands, and radiation patterns to meet different application requirements.
