Description
Description
The Andrew F137CCS3 FlexTwist® is a 900 mm (35.43-inch) flexible and twistable rectangular waveguide assembly designed for microwave transmission systems operating from 5.85 to 8.2 GHz.
Featuring WR137 waveguide dimensions with CPR137G flanges on both ends, the F137CCS3 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 isolate vibration between connected microwave components.
Engineered for professional microwave communications, the F137CCS3 offers a manufacturer-specified VSWR of 1.10:1 and attenuation of 0.3 dB per meter.
The assembly supports 2,000 watts average power and 500 kW peak power, making it suitable for demanding point-to-point microwave communication systems.
Its pressurizable construction supports operating pressures up to 30 psi, allowing integration into properly sealed waveguide systems using controlled dry-air pressurization.
The F137CCS3 is suitable for telecommunications towers, microwave backhaul systems, antenna feed installations, and other applications requiring flexible WR137 waveguide connections.
