About Wire and Cable

Shielded

Use For: Audio, Data, Interference Shielding, Video
Flexible
Max. Temperature:
Shielded: 175° F
Double and Quad Shielded: 165° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

Often used in radio transmission, network connections, and digital audio feed, this cable transmits audio, video, and data signals.

RG-58/U and RG-59/U cable are good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Duct-Rated Coaxial Cable

Double Shielded

Use For: Audio, Data, Interference Shielding, Video
Flexible
Max. Temperature: 300° F
Insulation: PVDF Plastic

Also known as plenum cable, this CL2P and CMP cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it to transmit audio, video, and data signals.

RG-58/U and RG-59/U cable is good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.

Coaxial Cords

Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.

BNC cords attach with a quarter turn.

RG-58/U and RG-59/U cords are good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals.

Continuous-Flex Coaxial Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. Use them to transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss. They’re RG-58/U or RG-59/U, so they’re good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. All have BNC plugs that attach with a quarter turn.
