ERI Transmission Line Accessories
ERI manufactures a variety of useful installation accessories for the installation of semi-flexible coaxial transmission lines and elliptical waveguides. These include insulated hangers for use on "hot" AM radio station towers, hoisting grip attachment kits and round member and angle member adapters. -
Rigid Coaxial Transmission Line
MACXLine® rigid coaxial line with bellows is available from ERI in sizes from 3-1/8 inch through 8-3/16 inch. ERI also offers STDLine for interior and short run applications, both flanged and unflanged components from 7/8 inch through 8-3/16 inch sizes. 1329Line is an aluminum outer conductor rigid line product that uses MACXLine inner conductors and is an economical and lighter weight alternative to traditional copper/brass rigid line.

Coaxial Cable
As the Broadcast Master Distributor for CommScope, ERI is your source for HELIAX® air and foam dielectric coaxial cable, system components,and installation accessories. https://www.commscope.com/Product-Catalog/Cables/Product/Wireless-Transmission-Cables/ -
Circular Waveguide
GUIDELine™ circular waveguide is the best choice for long vertical runs. It has substantially lower wind loads than equivalent rectangular waveguide, allowing it to be used on towers where rectangular system cannot be used. With attenuation up to 50% lower than corresponding rectangular waveguide, it is the most efficient transmission line available. You may be able to use a smaller, less-expensive transmitter! Unlike truncated elliptical waveguide, on-site tuning is completely eliminated by the use of cross-polarization canceling pins. -
Rectangular Waveguide
For transmitter room applications, inexpensive thin wall rectangular waveguide is a good choice. Pressurizable thick wall rectangular waveguide connects the base of the vertical run to the transmitter building. ERI manufactures a complete line WR1150, WR1500, and WR1800 components, including E-plane and H-plane elbows, miters, and fine matchers. -
