Kelani Cables launch pre-packed antenna wire

Sri Lanka’s number one cable manufacturer, Kelani Cables, recently launched a pre-packed antenna wire manufactured to the Japanese standards. The key reason to launch a product of this nature is to address the common causes that hinder the picture clarity and low quality antenna wires in the market. The outer wire mesh of an antenna wire is used reduce the disturbance to the signals that carry from antenna to the television unit and the best metal to use is Copper and most of the products in the market are not manufactured using copper.

Kelani antenna wire is made with pure copper and this help the signals to reach the television with minimum disturbance. Another key aspect is to maintain 75Ω and Kelani Cable antenna wire is made to meet the above standard as well. The outer layer of the wire is made using UV resistance material, pure copper mesh and flexibility of the wire offers many advantages to customers. Thanks to the above qualities of the product hotels, condominiums, high rise buildings and even households can use Kelani antenna wires through conduits and not to worry of replacing the wire for years.

General Manager – Sales Anil Munasinghe stated at the launch, “There are many obstructions people experience like dots, horizontal lines, noise and lines when vehicles drive near the antenna. In many instances people tend to replace the antenna thinking it’s a fault of the antenna. This could not always be the issue because antenna wire plays a major role in transporting the received signals from the antenna to the television set. If the antenna wire is a cheap and low in quality, a certain percentage of the signals drop drastically and this leads to low quality picture. There are many branded and unbranded antenna wires in the market with aluminium wire mesh instead of copper and sometimes are available attached with the antenna. The aluminium mesh and cover reacts with the oxygen and generate aluminium oxide and start to decay the cover within few months leading to loss of signals. Resistance of 75 Ω too has to be maintained to make sure of the picture quality which many wire manufacturers do not comply with. After a major study, our research and development team came up with the best solution to produce an antenna wire that will last for decades without replacement.”



Pre-packed antenna wire packs are available at all Arpico Super Centres, Electrical and Hardware stores in 10m, 15m and 20m lengths with fixed-in television jack. Depending on the requirement customers can buy any length from electrical and hardware stores as well.
