Coaxial Cables

A coaxial cable is a cable in which the inner conductor is wound coaxially with dielectric insulation, a foil or braid shield and an outer sheath, carrying high-frequency signals with a constant characteristic impedance. It is used in satellite and terrestrial TV distribution, analog camera (CCTV) systems, radio, antenna and other radio frequency connections. In this category and in the Satellite-TV Broadcast, CCTV Camera and 50 Ohm subcategories, 75 ohm RG6, RG11 and RG59 types, 50 ohm RG213 and LWR types, and CCTV cables with supply cores are sold by the meter from the Reçber, Mekas, Erse and 2M brands. First determine the impedance the device requires (75 ohm or 50 ohm), then choose the cable type, the inner conductor diameter and material, the shield construction and the sheath material according to line length and installation environment. The abbreviations Cu/Cu and Cu/Al in the product names indicate the material of the inner conductor and the braid shield, CCS indicates a copper-clad steel inner conductor, and Class A and Class B indicate the screening class. Because attenuation increases with frequency and line length, types with a thicker inner conductor are used on long lines.

How to choose Coaxial Cables

A coaxial cable is a cable in which the inner conductor is wound coaxially with dielectric insulation, a foil or braid shield and an outer sheath, carrying high-frequency signals with a constant characteristic impedance. It is used in satellite and terrestrial TV distribution, analog camera (CCTV) systems, radio, antenna and other radio frequency connections.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
