It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is “better” than RG While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is a larger cable than RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular frequencies. For example, at 100 MHz, General Cable’s Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of db/100'. A similar construction Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value loss at 100 MHz frequency of db/100'. This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run.

Coaxial Cable Solutions Guide General Cable offers a complete line of Brand Coaxial Cables for today’s sophisticated high-speed, wide-bandwidth electronics products that run over long distances with minimal signal loss or degradation. General Cable has the right coaxial cable to serve every application, including • CATV/MATV/DBS • HDTV/SDI • CCTV The General Cable Coaxial Cable Solutions Guide is a quick-reference tool to make it easier to specify and sell the right cable for the required application residential, commercial, entertainment and security. Whatever the application calls for, we have a coaxial cable that delivers the performance your customers need. CATV/MATV/DBS Broadband signal, 5 GHz, VHF/UHF, is traditionally transmitted as an analog signal received directly off air MATV or delivered as a community access television CATV service and uses a 75 Ohm system. Recommended Coaxial Cable Construction Copper clad steel CCS conductor with a foam polyethylene or Teflon* core, an aluminum/Mylar* foil, a minimum of 60% braid, which is typically aluminum AL for this application, and a PVC jacket. For home use, a CM rated coax should be used. A commercial application may require a National Electrical Code NEC 800 or 725 Riser CMR or Plenum CMP rated cable. Economical cable solutions use low smoke PVC jackets. Teflon* FEP and other fluoropolymer materials may be used to provide a more durable and higher-temperature cable alternative. It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is “better” than RG While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is a larger cable than RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular frequencies. For example, at 100 MHz, General Cable’s Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of db/100'. A similar construction Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value loss at 100 MHz frequency of db/100'. This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run. For a longer cable run, or if the coax cable is planned for use as the backbone in a system, Brand part number C5039 RG 11 coax cable should be used, because its attenuation at 100 MHz frequency is db/100'.
