Rg6 Coaxial Cable Outside Diameter
Coaxial cable guide amphenol rf offers a broad range of connectors designed to terminate to many commercially available coaxial cable types.
Rg6 coaxial cable outside diameter. Both cables can be used for setting up home theaters catv matv systems or for computer data processing transmissions to name just a few applications. Properties of popular coaxial cables note that attenuation values are given at 400 mhz but can and do often have significantly different values at other frequencies. Rg 58 u is a type of coaxial cable often used for low power signal and rf connections. Rg6 cable coaxial cable cut by the foot coaxial wires.
Most coaxial cables have a characteristic impedance of either 50 52 75 or 93 ω. Model c5775 31 01 68 70 roll. Rg was originally a unit indicator for bulk rf cable in the u s. Military s joint electronics type designation system there are several versions covering the differences in core material solid or braided wire and shield 70 to 95 coverage.
Rg6 quad shielded cables rg6q and rg6 dual shielded cables rg6 are both coaxial cables. The following cable guide lists standard flexible low loss semi rigid and conformable micro coaxial and corrugated cable as well as associated product links. In this edition we discuss rg6 quad shielded cables vs rg6 dual shielded cables. Coax type characteristic impedance outside diameter velocity factor atten 100 mhz atten 1000 mhz comments.
Rg6 cable is heavier gauge and has insulation and shielding tuned for high bandwidth high frequency applications such as internet cable tv and satellite tv signals. Coaxial cables are available in a variety of colours including black brown and white. But rg6q and rg6. The rg6 cable is a 75 ohm cable with f type connectors.
The cable has a characteristic impedance of either 50 or 52 ω. The rf industry uses standard type names for coaxial cables. This is the same cable used with many cable satellite tv devices and comes pre wired in many homes making it simple to wire and install. The most commons sizes of coaxial cable are rg 6 rg 11 and rg 59 some of the size differences are demonstrated in the image below.
Pull pack black rg 6u 18 awg coaxial cable with foil and braid shield for catv and rf transmission. Model rg6521000bo 105 23. Black rg6 coaxial cable for outdoor. The f type connector is a mid size connector designed for common use.
Thanks to television rg 6 is the most commonly used coaxial cable for home use and the majority of connections outside europe are by f connectors.
