Product Information

RF (Radio Frequency) waves are generated when an alternating current goes through a conductive material. Coax cables carry radio frequency signals. They can be used with any RF system. Are All Coax Cables the Same? Water damage – Water inside the cable can affect the electrical components. Depending on severity, it can degrade performance or render the cable useless. All coaxial cables are rated for different applications. The rating tells you everything you need to know about where the cable can be SAFELY installed. The most common are: Your installer will typically apportion the cable into shorter lengths to cover the range of the installation while maintaining quality signal strength. Coaxial cables and their corresponding connectors have different uses but the fundamentals of connecting or replacing them remain much the same. Here is how to conduct this procedure:

PIM stands for Passive Intermodulation. When you connect two metals, the result is nonlinear elements, and distortion in the signal may occur.Heat damage – When exposed to high temperatures for a prolonged amount of time, the plastic wrap can melt. Unprotected, the inner components will get damaged. Coaxial cables transmit signals through the center wire. To ensure a quality signal travels the length of the cable a metal shield is needed. Both components receive a current simultaneously, generating a magnetic field. This allows the signal to remain intact and not bleed out like it would without the shield. Signal loss doesn’t end there. Mixing and matching 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm cables and systems (more on this later) can lead to further signal loss. While you can customize your installation with connectors and adapters, it's best to stay consistent. Increasing the longevity of your coaxial cable starts with buying the right cable. From there, make sure to install it correctly, weatherproof the connectors, and avoid bending it. Can I Install Coaxial Cable Outdoors? Reference different cable types to see which ones will work best with your device. Choose the one that has the impedance, rating, and connectors you need.

Coaxial or coax cables are electrical cables created to carry high frequency, multi-megahertz electrical signals. They contain an inner conducting wire, usually copper, surrounded by a protective double insulating layer and then an outer plastic sheath, giving them a distinctive appearance. Communications Multipurpose (CM) Cable: CM cable, sometimes referred to as PVC cable, is the most commonly used cable rating. It’s rated for general-purpose applications, such as connecting a computer to the wall. It’s not as fire-retardant and will release toxic fumes. They are not to be used in riser or plenum spaces. Our coaxial cables are outdoor rated, but not direct burial rated. Does It Matter What Coaxial Cable I Use? Physical damage – Bending coax cable or stepping on it can damage the inner components, affecting transmission.If you have cable television, coaxial cable is used to carry video and data from the cable company to your TV. They’re also used to connect your television or digital converter box to a personal antenna. Signal Boosters Both are fitted with SMA connectors. These are small, copper connectors used in modems and the like. They are relatively inexpensive, which allow for the cable’s cheaper cost. What is the difference between 50 and 75 Ohm cables? This analogy might help. Think of signal as a drink and cables as straws. 75 Ohm cables are your typical soda straws, and 50 Ohm cables are jumbo straws. There are two main types of coaxial cables – ones with an impedance of 75 Ohm (Ω) and ones with an impedance of 50 Ohm. Whether a male or female connection is required. Male connectors have protruding metal pins while female connectors have a recess designed to receive the pins
