Wilson 1/2 in Foam Dielectric Coaxial Cable 500 ft Spool – 952006

What comes with the cable

• 500-foot spool of Wilson 1/2-inch foam-dielectric coaxial cable (952006)

Professional cable preparation and installation

1. Confirm that non-plenum cable is permitted along the complete planned route and verify all applicable building and electrical requirements.
2. Measure the finished path with service loops and equipment access included, then cut the cable cleanly without crushing or deforming it.
3. Maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid sharp turns, tight fasteners, unsupported spans, and excessive pulling force.
4. Prepare each end with tooling designed for compatible half-inch cable, keeping conductor and dielectric surfaces clean.
5. Install the specified 50-ohm RF connectors according to their termination instructions and inspect every finished end.
6. Route and secure the cable away from damage, label both ends, ground the RF system where required, and weatherproof every exterior connection.
7. Test continuity and RF performance before connecting the completed run to the repeater, antennas, or distribution components.

Technical specifications

Frequently asked questions

Are connectors included?

No. SKU 952006 is a bulk 500-foot spool with unterminated ends. Compatible connectors and cable-preparation tools are selected separately for the project.

Is this a 50-ohm cable?

Yes. It is designed for compatible 50-ohm cellular repeater, antenna, and RF distribution systems.

Can it be installed in plenum spaces?

This spool is intended for routes where non-plenum cable is permitted. Use an approved CMP-rated cable such as Wilson 952003 when the route or local code requires plenum cable.

Why use half-inch cable instead of WILSON400?

Half-inch cable is selected for professional installations where long runs and lower RF loss justify the larger cable and specialized field terminations.

Can I cut it to custom lengths?

Yes. The spool is specifically intended for field-cut runs, but each end must be prepared and terminated with the correct half-inch hardware and tools.

Does this cable arrive ready to connect?

No. It is not a pre-terminated jumper. The finished run must be cut, prepared, connectorized, inspected, and tested by a qualified installer.

What systems can use it?

It can be used with compatible professional 50-ohm cellular repeater and DAS components when the cable type, connectors, route rating, and frequency requirements match the system design.
