Special item HELUKABEL SOLARFLEX-X 0.75 sq mm, double sheathed. (Sold by the meter for BOG)

SOLARFLEX ® Premium Wire for BOG* Antennas
A High Quality, double-insulated wire, developed for the solar industry.

This heavy duty, robust double-insulated wire is especially good for use in BOG receiving antenna.
The wire can of course also be used for other applications, for example for radials for vertical antennas.
It is ideal for lying on the ground in fields subject to humans or animals maybe stepping on it.

Features:
For outdoor use / direct burial, using the latest outdoor cable technology
24 twisted strands of tinned copper wire
Cable cross-section of the conductive wire: 0,75qmm
Strand diameter: ca. 1mm (in between 17-18 AWG)
Jacket diameter: 3.8 mm
Double-insulated Outer Jacket: Resistant to UV radiation, ozone, weathering effects, and water.
halogen-free insulation (prevents the release of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire).

*Beverage On (the) Ground
Like the classic Beverage antenna, a type of traveling-wave receiving antenna commonly used for low-noise reception on low to medium frequencies, the BOG is a broadband, low noise, directional wire “receiving” antenna for receiving long-haul DX signals on the 1.8 to 7 MHz bands.
Unlike the classic Beverage antenna which is very long and must typically be elevated above 2.5 to 3m above ground, the wire of the BOG can actually lie on the ground, although better performance is achieved if it is elevated 2 to 10 cm above ground.
In addition, The BOG’s close proximity to ground causes a rapid decay of the current along the wire, enabling the use of shorter lengths of wire than the classic Beverage.
On average ground, the optimum lengths are typically 60 to 90 meters.
