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. RG59 coaxial cable is applied for inst. for video-signal, but not at larger distances. Foamed 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.

Standards

MIL-C-17F
MIL-C-17G

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 wire, bimetal, diameter 0,59 ± 0,01 mm (20 AWG)
Insulation (dielectric): PE, external diameter 3,70 ± 0,05 mm
External conductor: braid of bare copper wires 0,16 mm, 95% optical overlap
Sheath: PVC, external diameter 6,15 ± 0,10 mm
sheath colour: black
