DX Engineering 450 Ohm Ladder Line

DX Engineering 450 Ohm Ladder Line is a transmitting grade low-loss parallel-wire RF feedline featuring a strong, waterproof, UV black polyethylene insulation. To maintain the wire spacing between the conductors while reducing losses, the integral flat plastic material alternates with rectangular openings, which explains the "Window Line" nickname. Capable of handling over 3 kW of RF power, DXE-LL450 is a very low-loss transmission line across HF. It is ideal for exceptionally long feedline runs and for low band wire antennas operated on multiple bands on which the feedpoint impedance can vary significantly, causing mismatch and elevated SWR. Unlike coaxial cables, DX Engineering DXE-LL450 Ladder Line maintains low RF losses at frequencies where antenna feedpoint impedance mismatches cause high SWR. It can provide significantly higher efficiency than coaxial cable when feeding non-resonant antenna systems that are matched with a wide impedance range antenna tuner. DXE-LL450 450 Ohm Ladder Line is a high-quality flat RF feedline, about 0.938 in. wide (15/16") with two 16-gauge copper-clad steel wire conductors (29 AWG x 19 strands) that provide the strength to hold up for long spans between supports without twisting. It exhibits a nominal impedance of around 400 Ohms and a nominal Velocity Factor of 91 percent. For proper performance, LL450 Ladder Line must be installed suspended through the air supported by insulators every 25 ft. or less, kept at right angles and several inches away from other wires, and at least one foot away when run parallel to the earth or large metal surfaces. Installing with an axial twist of one turn per 10 ft. can reduce wind, rain and ice loading, RF coupling and RF noise. DXE-LL450 can be mounted with insulators and suspended on metal or wood posts or run along a wood fence line, only if the fence has no wires or metal mesh that couples RF noise or unbalances the feedline. Often used for non-resonant wire doublet antennas, DXE-LL450 can be more easily terminated outdoors to a DXE-MC20-C4-1 4:1 Balun or a DXE-MC20-1-1T 1:1 Balun. Then, with no inline switches or relays, directly connect the antenna system to a typical indoor wide range antenna tuner using a solid dielectric coax, not foam dielectric, to handle high voltage at high SWR. DXE-213U or DXE-214 Coaxial Cable Assemblies 12 or 18 ft. with PL-259s are perfect for this method, which eliminates the need for a special balanced tuner, and avoids the losses and detuning effects caused by unbalancing when ladder line is routed indoors near wires and ducts. DXE-LL450 is sold by the foot, previously sold as DXE-LL450-CTL, this is the same ladder line with a new part number. It is also available in spools of 500 ft. DXE-LL450-5C and 1,000 ft. DXE-LL450-1K, which are specified for DX Engineering Reversible Beverage System Antennas. NOTE: This type of feedline is intended for MF and HF use and is not suitable for use above 54 MHz. Also consider DX Engineering 300 Ohm Ladder Line, DXE-LL300, an excellent alternative low-loss HF feed line that reduces impedance extremes on non-resonant HF multiband antenna systems.

DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables

DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables connect the "ground on transmit" or contact closure provided by the radio that is required to make an HF amplifier switch from "receive mode" to "transmit and amplify mode" when using PTT (push-to-talk), VOX or break-in CW keying. DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables are made for specific transceiver models that have special DIN or mini-DIN connector accessory ports which provide the transceiver's only connections for linear amplifier keying. One type of amplifier keying cable has one RCA phono plug for the amplifier relay jack, which is all that is needed. When the transceiver PTT (push-to-talk) is keyed, the RCA plug center pin is connected to the shield (and chassis ground in most cases) to key the amp relay or its solid state keying circuit. Instead of a direct connection to the amp relay, the RCA plug may be connected to the keying input of an accessory device (DXE-KEYLINE-3, DXE-RTR-2 or DXE-NCC-2), amplifier keying interface (DXE-SV-KR or legacy Ameritron ARB-704 or KD9SV Products SV-KR) or other amp keying line interrupt device, such as a meter or an array controller. Each has a keying input and a keying output for the amplifier relay or another accessory. Another type of amplifier keying cable has two RCA phono plugs, one RED plug for the amplifier relay jack and one WHITE plug for ALC (Automatic Level Control) voltage from the amplifier. The legacy ALC connection does not need to be used with present era solid state transceivers and most modern amplifiers. ALC was required for use on transmitters with tube finals. Some modern amplifiers do not have an ALC output connector. If the amplifier does not have ALC it is okay to leave the WHITE plug disconnected. Order your DX Engineering Transceiver Amplifier Keying Cables to connect to your transceiver accessory port for keying amplifiers, sequencers, receive-transmit interfaces, buffer relays, and other accessories. NOTE: To enable the function of this keying cable, some late model Kenwood transceivers require menu activation of the amplifier keying circuit.

Heil Sound Headset Adapter Cables

Heil Sound Headset Adapter Cables are used to interface your Heil headset to your favorite transceiver. Heil AD-1 series headset radio cables are required for Heil boom microphone headset models including PROSET Elite, PROSET, the original and reintroduced PRO-MICRO series, the lightweight, yellow BM-17 series and BM-10 series headsets, and the legacy PROSET PLUS. These cables support all of the Heil Sound Headsets that feature a 3.5 mm (1/8 in. miniature phone) mono connector for the microphone audio. Each has a female 1/4 in. mono dongle connector on a short wire for PTT keying foot switch or hand switch connection. NOTE: These Heil Headset Adapter Cable assemblies handle mic audio and keying, NOT the headphone audio. The stereo male plug on your headset cable connects directly to your transceiver headphone jack, not to the AD-1 series adapter cable. Headsets typically include stereo 1/8 in. (3.5mm) to 1/4 in. (6.35mm) headphone audio adapters. All Heil Headset Adapter Cables use commercial-grade microphone connectors with dual-exit cable clamps that are much heavier than the normal CB-type connectors that the industry had been forced to use for decades. If you have several brands of transceivers, individual adapter cables may be connected to each radio, so you may quickly and easily move your Heil boom microphone headset from one transceiver to another, without having to remove any connectors from the transceivers. All Heil audio cables are wired through to support VOX operation. Heil Sound Headset Adapter Cables are available in 4-pin and 8-pin round connectors, and 6-pin and 8-pin modular-style connectors. HSTA series Headset Adapter Cables were specially designed for the legacy Heil TRAVELER Headsets that were discontinued and are no longer available. Some of the presently available adapter cables feature an extra wire and connector to go to the transceiver external speaker connector, for those radios where receive audio is not provided on the microphone connector. On transceivers that support them, the special UP-DOWN buttons on the TRAVELER Headset cables are connected with these cables.

DX Engineering RG-214 50-ohm Double Shielded Coaxial Cable

DX Engineering RG-214 is a high-isolation, double shielded low-loss 50-ohm coaxial cable. Covered with a black, non-contaminating Type-II-A PVC this cable jacket offers a high level of UV protection and durability for all outdoor uses and direct-bury applications. Specially manufactured for DX Engineering, our RG-214 is a rugged, flexible MIL-SPEC coax with a 12-gauge stranded silver plated copper center conductor, solid polyethylene dielectric and TWO layers of silver plated braided copper shields to provide exceptional RF isolation and superior power handling performance. This coax is perfect for use where many cables are bundled together and higher RF isolation is critical. Use DXE-214 in bundles of multiple monoband and multi-band directional antenna feedlines on towers, especially for rotator loops. This cable excels at maintaining RF isolation in the shack or in the equipment room of stations that have many antenna feedlines. DXE-214 is specifically recommended for use in VHF/UHF duplex repeater applications. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the double braided shield, the jacket outside diameter of DXE-214 is 0.425 in. Therefore, RG-214 coax cable CANNOT be stripped with the specialized prep tools made for standard 0.405 in. OD, RG-8U, 400MAX and RG-213 size coaxial cables. DX Engineering offers only solder type PL259 and N connectors that fit onto DXE-214 cable. No crimp type connectors are available. Use DXE-15035 Coax Cable Strippers for DXE-214 and these compatible connectors installed with soldered shield and soldered center pin: PL-259/UHF Male – DXE-PL-259-6 AML-83-1SP-6 Type N – DXE-1001-S-4 DX Engineering RG-214 50-ohm Double Shielded Coaxial Cable is sold in bulk, cut to length and on 500 ft. and 1,000 ft. spools. We also stock pre-made assemblies with PL-259 and type N connectors; search for 214 assemblies.
