Messi and Paoloni StealthFlex 7 Green Coax Cable: Tactical Performance for Field Operations
Messi and Paoloni StealthFlex 7 Green Coax Cable is a unique and exceptionally robust coaxial cable, specifically designed for demanding field operations where durability, resistance to interference, and discreet deployment are paramount. This model is ideal for various applications, offering an unparalleled blend of strength, flexibility, and tactical advantage.
StealthFlex 7 features a durable and lightweight double braid with an additional copper/PET foil, forming a true "armor" that is designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of multiple unwindings and rewindings in the field. This robust construction ensures greater operational longevity, even under extreme conditions, while providing excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference.
A distinctive matte green military PVC jacket (overall Ø 7.65mm ± 0.15 / 0.301”) makes StealthFlex 7 exceptionally stealthy, allowing it to blend seamlessly into natural environments. For enhanced field deployment, a tactical kit is available (at certain lengths), comprising a green tactical reel for quick setup, a protective case, and two sturdy strain reliefs applied between the connector and the cable. This kit includes pre-installed UHF Evo connectors, which are Messi and Paoloni's ultimate PL connectors, ensuring reliable and high-performance connections right out of the box.
The cable's advanced internal structure includes:
- Inner Conductor: 19x0.38mm copper wires (overall Ø 1.9mm ± 0.15 / 0.075”), providing excellent conductivity and flexibility.
- Dielectric: A triple-layer, high-pressure physical injection foamed polyethylene (overall Ø 5mm ± 0.05 / 0.196”), contributing to its 83% velocity factor and low capacitance of 75 pF/m.
- Triple-Layer Shielding:
- 100% Screening Copper Foil: The first screen, with an applied PE-layer, prevents cracking due to short radius bends.
- 1st Braid: 83% screening from 144 wires of copper clad aluminum.
- 2nd Braid: 80% screening from 144 wires of copper clad aluminum. This comprehensive shielding system ensures a Screening Efficiency (SA) of >105 dB from 100-2000 MHz, earning it a Screening Class A++.
With an impedance of 50 Ohm ± 3 at 200Mhz and a robust maximum peak power handling of 8,000 Watts, StealthFlex 7 is well-suited for a wide range of amateur radio transmissions. It maintains reliable operation across a temperature range from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F). Its minimum bending radius is 68mm (2.68 in) for up to 15 bends and 34mm (1.34 in) for a single choke bend, providing versatility in deployment.
