A simple, secure way to fold back the ends of a wire antenna for fine tuning, without immediately committing to another cut. Available in versions for Messi & Paoloni Dipoflex and RG-58.
Getting a wire antenna resonant often comes down to the last few centimetres. The Pro Antennas Fold Back Kit makes those final adjustments much easier by allowing excess wire or coax to be folded back neatly and held securely in place.
Instead of repeatedly trimming the antenna shorter, you can fold the end back, secure it with the clamp, check the antenna again and make further adjustments as required.
Messi & Paoloni Dipoflex
Clamp set designed for use with Messi & Paoloni Dipoflex antenna wire, making it easy to fold back and retain the end of a Dipoflex-based wire antenna during tuning.
RG-58
A dedicated version for RG-58, ideal where the radiating element or antenna construction uses RG-58 coax and a secure fold-back adjustment is required.
Adjust First. Cut Later.
When tuning a wire antenna, cutting too much off is difficult to undo. Folding the end of the element back allows you to electrically shorten the antenna while keeping the excess material available if further adjustment is needed.
Once you've found the position that gives the result you want, the Fold Back Kit keeps the return section neat and securely retained.
Serrated Grip That Tightens Under Load
The male section of each clamp uses serrated gripping edges to help hold the cable firmly once assembled.
The geometry of the clamp also means that tension on the wire, whether caused by wind or another external pull, tightens the grip rather than working the cable loose. That's particularly useful on outdoor wire antennas where a conventional clamp can gradually slip under changing load.
Neat Strain Relief at Each End
Two MyDEL dogbone insulators are supplied, giving you a convenient anchor point for the folded section while helping keep the antenna installation tidy and mechanically supported.
End Caps Help Keep Water Out
Two end caps are included to cover the exposed ends of the cable and help prevent water ingress once the antenna has been adjusted.
Easy to Adjust Again Later
The kit includes two re-usable zip ties rather than conventional single-use cable ties. If you need to change the fold-back length later, simply release the tie, reposition the cable and secure it again.
