DX-WIRE HDL cut for your needs

Type HDL: "heavy duty litz" wire is intended for most difficult conditions. The 1,5 mm diameter core consists of 19 strands of high-quality (V4A) stainless steel wrapped in a coat of 80 tinned copper strands of 0,1 mm diameter each. A high-grade insulation of uv-resistant, black polyethylene grants protection against the weather and mechanical strains. The core of stainless steel secures the enormous breaking load of 190 kg at a gross diameter of only 3 mm and moderate weight.

The coat of thin copper wires at the surface provides optimal conductivity for RF-currents flowing merely at the surface due to the skin effect. In this wire 0,64 sq.mm of copper equal the RF-conductivity of a stranded copper wire with a cross section area of 2,5 sq.mm. Unfortunately the manufacturing of this wire requires a lot of effort and such a product has its price.

We recommend  3 or 4mm duplex clamps
for this DX-WIRE HDL litz.

For dismanteling a hot air gun might be
usefull to make the polyethylen jacket a bit softer.
