Product Information

At the core, coaxial cables consist of a single copper or copper-coated steel wire. It’s what carries the RF signals. A dielectric insulator, often made of plastic, surrounds the wire. It keeps a constant distance between the center conductor and the next layer. As a result, RF signals can be carried over long distances with little interference or loss. Depending on your application, the signal is then converted into images, audio, WiFi, or amplified cell reception. What are the Uses and Applications of Coaxial Cables

As signal amplitude goes up, the effects will be more significant. This often happens when connecting antennas, cables, and connectors. PIM problems occur most often in cellular networks. To mitigate PIM issues, consider low-PIM cables, connectors, and adapters. Coaxial Cable Rating Physical damage – Bending coax cable or stepping on it can damage the inner components, affecting transmission.A common cable in domestic settings, RG-59 cable is similar to the RG-6, but it has an even thinner centre conductor. This makes it a good choice for short runs and low-frequency transmissions. What’s RG-11 cable? 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: Free consultation (ask us anything) with our US-based customer support ( [email protected]) or call us at 1-800-568-2723. Coaxial cable genders were designed not just to allow physical connections but also to ensure that power or signal data flows in the correct direction, from male to female connectors with matching electrical polarity, preventing interference and unsafe installations. Typically, female connectors are more resistant to damage than male ones so these tend to be placed in crucial areas with males relegated to connecting cables, which can be replaced more easily.

UHF connector, also known as Amphenol coax connector, is a 50 Ohm connector for low-frequency RF applications. It’s widely used in amateur radio, citizens' band radio, and marine VHF radio. It’s suitable for use up to 300 MHz.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. If you need to run cable through plenum airspaces, Wilson400 Plenum cable is available. It features ultra-low-loss and comes in a 500-foot spool with no connectors. Cable can be easily terminated to fit any application. To calculate the amount of loss you should expect, use an online calculator. For example, the QSL Loss Calculator. We don’t endorse this one specifically. Simply fill in the blanks and loss will be calculated in seconds. Next, calculate the distance between your transmitter and receiver. For example, the distance from an outdoor antenna to a cable box or amplifier. Since shorter cable runs produce crisper signal, your cable should be close to the distance you calculated. Nothing shorter or excessively longer. 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 cables are durable, easy to install, and have a broad range of uses. Their design allows rapid signal transmission (around 10 megabits per second) with minimal electro-magnetic interference or signal loss. Coaxial cables are the default cabling choice for many low voltage consumer electronics. If there is already a connector in place, remove it. It may respond to a simple twist or you may need to make use of a tool such as a construction knife or wire strippers There are many online calculators you can use as well as formulas for manual calculation. Important Coaxial Cable Features to Consider Before You BuyThe first layer, called the dielectric, provides distance between the core conductor and the outer layers, as well as some insulation. Signal loss happens with all types of coaxial cable. As signal travels through the cable, it loses energy. It’s inevitable. With increased cable length more signal loss occurs. Coaxial cable can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications with a few differences. Coax used outdoors requires additional insulation to protect the wires. Cables rated for outdoor use may run along the outside of your home to an antenna or cable box on the corner. Whether out in the sun or buried in the earth, the cable needs to be protected enough to provide seamless transmissions. 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

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? The RG-174 should never be installed in any unit that needs more than 6 feet of cable. It does a poor job of carrying signal at 10 feet.Compatible with weBoost Drive Reach, weBoost Drive Sleek, and the weBoost Drive X. Coaxial Cable Advantages and Disadvantages Connector damage – If a connector comes loose, rusts, or breaks, the cable can't efficiently transmit information from one source to another or at all. The speed at which coaxial cables transmit data depends on the type of cable and the technology that gives it its speed. For example, your internet service provider, cable company, and the like. On average, coaxial cable transmission speed ranges from 10 Mbps to upwards of 100 Mbps. Does Coax Cable Go Bad? A braided mesh made from copper then helps to shield the cable from electromagnetic interference (EMI)
