A coaxial cable is one that consists of two conductors that share a common axis. The inner conductor is typically a straight wire, either solid or stranded and the outer conductor is typically a shield that might be braided or a foil. Coaxial cable is a cable type used to carry radio signals, video

î CATV cable construction Broadband CATV (or MATV) signals typically use a series 59 or series 6 type coaxial cable, or drop cable. These cables use either a copper or a CCS center conductor. The dielectric is always a foamed insulation. The shield construction is always an aluminum foil + aluminum

What does AWG mean?AWG means American Wire Gage, the standard measurement of wire size. Why can't I use aluminum and copper together?In some configurations, they can be used together. In others, they can not. It is common to see copper-clad aluminum, especially in broadband (CATV) and high-frequenc

--- Term DefinitionA --- AmpereABR --- Available Bit Rate.Abrasion Resistance --- Ability of a wire, cable or material to resist surface wear.Abrasion Stripper ---More accurately described as "buffing stripper", which is a motorized device for removing flat cable insulation by means of one or two

There are two factors that govern the selection of cable: the location of cable runs, either indoor or outdoor, and the maximum length of the individual cable runs. Video coaxial cable is designed to transmit maximum signaling energy from a 75 ohm source to a 75 ohm load with minimum signal loss. Ex

RG-59/U is a designator for 75-ohm impedance coaxial cable of which there are several varieties, each having some slightly different characteristics. There are also other 75 ohm cable types, such as RG-6/U (18 AWG) and RG-11/U (16 AWG). These have larger gauge conductors and are for use where longer

What is LSZH? LSZH stands for Low Smoke, Zero Halogens. A low‐smoke, zero‐halogen cable is one in which the jacket and insulation materials are made of special LSZH materials. When these cables come in contact with a flame very little smoke is produced ma
