Heliax

 

I need 300 feet of LDF4-50 1/2 inch heliax for a project.? If I can get the heliax to the contractor soon, he will install it at a discount as he is already installing heliax for the tower owner.? Thanks de David, K5RAV drwoolweaver@...
 

Davis RF has the best price I have seen on LDF4-50A at $1.87 per foot. You might even get a lower price buying 300ft at one time.


Hope this helps,

Do you have a special account with them? I looked at their site just now and it shows $2.14 per foot.

Thanks,

Make that how about 300 ft of 7/8?
 

Those guys must have a special account.
At first I didn't log in at Tessco, but I have now and checked the price.
For me when I log in, the price is $2.00 for LDF4-50A and $4.96 for AVA5P-50-C

You have to add the product to a cart to get the first pass pricing. Just looking won’t get you anywhere.

Ava5P-50 with no discount is 3.86/ft

I thought Andrew stopped making LDF a long time ago. Where are they getting it?

Andrew did discontinue making the LDF-5-50
They (Commscope for a time) replaced it with AVA-5 cable which is not compatible with the older connectors.
despite any announcements of the Andrew company still operating, they discontinued the hollow copper tube for the center conductor and switched to copper clad aluminum with a compression fit pin that some techs can't get right so installations had to be reworked. At least that's what I'm hearing.??

LDF5 was replaced with AVA5P and as noted, the older connectors are not compatible. The center remains hollow however.
