Application

Coaxial cables are applied for broadband transmission of radio, TV, video and data signals. Applicable up to GHz-a level, with low attenuation and low signal distortion. RG174 coaxial cable is applied for inst. for short-distance radio signals, and in all circumstances of restricted area requiring a small cable cross-section. Polyethylene of low dielectric constant enables high-speed signal diffusion, and good flexibility at installation. Permitted only indoor application, exceptionally also outdoor, under protection against sunlight.

Construction

Concentric conductors, insulation (dielectric) and sheath. Cable retains its function if inner and external conductor are at exact constant distance, without any cable bending.
Inner conductor: copper-clad steel wires, bimetal, stranded, diameter 0,48 ± 0,01 mm, 7 x 0,16 mm
Insulation (dielectric): polyethylene, external diameter 1,52 ± 0,05 mm
External conductor: braid of tinned copper wires 0,16 mm, 87% optical overlap
Sheath: PVC, external diameter 2,7 ± 0,10 mm
sheath colour: black
