RG174 RG174 coaxial cables are used in radio frequency and small-scale applications. They are again thin and flexible, and ideal for use in tight spaces.
WF125, RG7 These cable types can also be used for CATV and satellite TV. They are thicker and provide less signal loss over extended distances, making them ideal for longer cable runs. WF165, RG11 Used for longer cable runs in CATV and satellite TV, they are thicker than the WF100 and WF125 cable types, providing less signal loss over extended distances, making them suitable for much larger buildings and commercial installations. RG59 RG59 coaxial cable is often found in CCTV applications and analogue cable television. RG59 has a thinner central conductor and is suitable for lower-frequency applications. It can also be a cost-effective cable for shorter cable runs. RG8, RG213 Usually found in amateur radio and some data transmission applications, RG8 and RG213 are larger coaxial cables with thicker central conductors. They are used in more demanding applications, providing better signal transmission. More Specialised Coaxial Cables RG58 RG58 coaxial cable is commonly used in radio frequency connections and some ethernet applications. It is a smaller and more flexible cable, suitable for short-distance applications. It can also be more cost-effective for basic connectivity needs.
High Temperature/ High Performance Coaxial Cables
Suitable for more demanding environments, including applications in industry and engineering, high performance and high temperature coaxial cables use PTFE and FEP materials in their construction. They have excellent temperature resistance from -65°C to 200°C, and the outer sheath offers exceptional oil, chemical, as well as UV protection. Examples include RG178, RG179, RG316, and RG400. Land Mobile Radio Cables Sometimes referred to as LMR or WEB cables, these cables are used in two-way communications systems, as well as in VSAT mobile phone and satellite communication applications, usually in maritime environments. They are flexible and durable, and designed to provide mobile communication systems in more challenging environments. Ultimately though, they can be used in any application that requires a flexible coaxial cable that’s easy to route. URM Coaxial Cables Uni Radio-Metric (URM) coaxial cables cover many different high frequency data and signal transmission applications. In some CCTV applications that require the cameras to move, URM70 can be a better choice than RG59,
