Cable info
Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) or Variable Downtilt antennas
enable mobile phone network operators to adjust the beam of
an antenna to meet changing conditions such as variations in
the density of traffic during the day. By doing so it is possible to
optimise the network.
Typically the movement of the antenna array is controlled using
an RS485 signal carried over a multicore cable together with
electrical power to drive some kind of motor. The protocols for
controlling the antenna in this way have been drawn up by an
industry body, the Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG).
Typical requirements are:
• Max OD of 8mm to fit connector styles mandated by AISG
• 24/ 48V power
• Data (+/- & ground)
• Screening as the cable operates in a noisy RF environment
• Weather resistant jacket material as cable will see exposure
to rain, wind and snow with temperatures in the range -40°C
Example of: Deformed cable after Hydrostatic test
Key features for RET cables
to + 60°C together with moisture, UV, dust and vibration.
• Many manufacturers require the materials to be low smoke
zero halogen (LSZH or LS0H) or at least fire resistant.
Our expertise
Habia Cable has over 60 years’ experience in manufacturing
cables for harsh environmental conditions. Combining this
expertise with cost effective production in our Chinese
manufacturing plant in Changzhou, gives us the capability to
offer a high quality solution at an attractive price to the market.
With a long history of dealing with the cellular antenna market
we are proud to consider ourselves the leading manufacturer
of hand formable type cable for use within the antennas
themselves. We are now able to produce these cables
compliant with the AISG specifications in a number of different
constructions to meet the varied requirements of the Remote
Electrical Tilt market. Examples of our product range are

Specialist Coaxial Cables
All of today’s mobile communication technologies rely on
radio waves to carry voice, data and media. The airwaves
now carry a huge volume of traffic due to increased mobile
communications and this dramatic increase is set to continue.
As the airwaves become busier, communications signals are
moving up to higher bandwidths, using higher frequencies to
transmit data.
Our product range
Today’s coaxial cables need better screening and purity
of signal because of the higher risk of attenuation or distortion
at higher frequencies. Also for ease of installation and
manufacturing there is a need for improved physical properties
such as flexibility, handling and termination. Combined with
higher technology in cable materials and manufacturing
processes, there is no longer a need to sacrifice physical
characteristics for electrical performance.
Our specialist RF and Communications coaxial cable products
have been developed to meet our customers’ demands in
a world where product innovation is moving forward at a
tremendous pace. Habia Cable is committed to developing
partnerships for the future and working together into the long
term. Our experience and vision will enable you to make it
happen.
