Hermesys ChimeraX™ series 5G Hybrid High-Speed Flexible Fire Retardant Cable is a high-performance cable specifically designed for 5G networks, featuring high-speed data transmission, flexible installation, and fire-retardant safety. Its hybrid design combines power and data transmission functions, ensuring stable, low-latency signal transmission even in demanding environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Combines 2 stranded copper conductors (2.4 mm, Class 2 per IEC 60228) with 2 flat fiber sub-cables (4 bare fibers total, G657.A2) in one jacket, so power and high-speed data share a single cable run
- The flat 2.1 x 1.6 mm fiber sub-cable profile, reinforced with an FRP strength member (steel optional), keeps the cable slim while protecting the bare fibers from tension during handling
- Water-blocking yarn and tape prevent moisture ingress along the cable core, protecting both the copper conductors and fibers in outdoor or damp environments
- LSOH outer jacket with UV resistance (tested to UL 1581) suits sustained outdoor and rooftop exposure without added conduit
- Rated to 900 N short-term / 450 N long-term tensile strength and 1350 N short-term / 600 N long-term crush strength, giving it stronger crush protection for tower and antenna mounting hardware
- Tight bend-radius tolerance (static >5D, dynamic >10D of the cable’s outer diameter) allows routing through compact enclosures and mounting brackets where space is limited
- Fire-retardant, low-smoke construction suits enclosed or populated spaces where flame spread and smoke toxicity are safety concerns
- Color-coded conductor insulation (red/black, customizable) and fiber sub-cable jackets (white/black) simplify identification and termination in the field
