Description
Andrew F090BCB3 FlexTwist® WR90 Flexible Twistable Waveguide, 10.7–11.7 GHz, 900 mm, UG-39/U to CPR90G
The Andrew F090BCB3 is a 900 mm (35.43-inch) flexible, twistable rectangular waveguide assembly designed for microwave transmission systems operating from 10.7 to 11.7 GHz.
Part of the Andrew FlexTwist® series, this WR90 waveguide provides a flexible interconnection between microwave antennas, radio equipment, and rigid waveguide transmission components.
The assembly features a UG-39/U flange on one end and a CPR90G flange on the opposite end, allowing connection between compatible WR90 waveguide interfaces.
Its flexible and twistable construction accommodates installation alignment differences, helps isolate vibration, and reduces mechanical stress on connected microwave equipment.
The F090BCB3 is intended for 11 GHz microwave transmission applications, including point-to-point microwave radio links, antenna feed systems, and telecommunications infrastructure where a flexible waveguide connection is required.
Unlike a rigid waveguide section, the FlexTwist design provides controlled bending and twisting to simplify equipment positioning and waveguide routing.
Andrew specifically identifies the F090BCB3 configuration with a 10.7–11.7 GHz operating range, WR90 waveguide size, UG-39/U and CPR90G interfaces, and 900 mm length.
