Coaxial Cable

Quality coaxial cable is an important component in a high performance broadband network. Considering the complexity of replacing existing cable in a structure, using the highest quality coaxial cable available is an obvious choice.

Selecting a coaxial cable type is primarily an issue of attenuation and functionality. Today's demanding broadband networks typically use RG6 coax for end-of-network runs where cable flexibility is required. RG11 coax is used for longer backbone cable runs where cable flexibility is not required. RG11 coaxial cable offers lower attenuation than RG6, but is not recommended for end-of-network cable runs.

• Multi-purpose Coaxial Cable
• Underground Coaxial Cable
• Aerial Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cable for underground applications includes a flooded polyethylene (PE) jacket. The rugged polyethylene jacket protects the cable from typical underground vulnerabilities. In the event the cable jacket is damaged, the floodant will seal the jacket fracture preventing corrosion and moisture ingress.

Aerial (or Messengered) coaxial cable includes an integrated steel messenger wire for additional strength in outdoor aerial applications. A protective PVC jacket protects the cable and messenger wire from the elements.
