Description
The Andrew F137CCB2 FlexTwist® is a 600 mm (23.62-inch) flexible and twistable rectangular waveguide assembly designed for microwave transmission systems operating between 6.425 and 7.125 GHz.
Featuring WR137 waveguide dimensions with CPR137G flanges on both ends, the F137CCB2 provides a reliable connection between microwave antennas, radio equipment, and compatible rectangular waveguide components.
Its flexible construction accommodates mechanical misalignment, controlled bending, and twisting during installation while helping reduce mechanical stress and vibration transfer between connected microwave components.
Designed for professional point-to-point microwave communications, the F137CCB2 delivers a manufacturer-specified VSWR of 1.03:1 and attenuation of 0.3 dB per meter, helping maintain efficient RF transmission performance.
The assembly supports 2,000 watts average power and 500 kW peak power, making it suitable for demanding microwave communications applications.
Its pressurizable construction supports operating pressures up to 30 psi, allowing integration into properly sealed waveguide systems employing controlled dry-air pressurization.
The F137CCB2 is suitable for telecommunications towers, microwave backhaul systems, antenna feed installations, and other applications requiring flexible WR137 waveguide connections.
The 600 mm length provides installation flexibility when rigid waveguide sections cannot be directly aligned.
