Spuma
The flexible low loss standard
Edition 2018/06
New Spuma RS
Spuma
The HUBER+SUHNER Spuma product family stands for lowest loss with halogen free materials. Shielding and VSWR are optimi-
sed up to 6 GHz. The cables are more flexible than corrugated ones, allowing easier handling and installation. Tight bending
radii are possible. With this set of features, Spuma can support a multitude of application in various industries, including railway,
defense, communication, instrumentation and others. Spuma products can also be used as drop-in replacement for LMR®
(LMR® is a brand of Times Microwave Inc.).

Spuma RS FR
Rotary swaged & flame retardant The patented rotary swaging technology (low-loss strand)
allows to overcome the common trade-off between flexibility
and low attenuation. Furthermore, the new TPU jacket material
provides flame retardancy without compromising on flexibility.
Benefits Markets
• Outdoor and indoor use • Defense
• Highly flexbile • Instrumentation
