Coaxial Cable
- Use For: Audio, Data, Interference Shielding, Video
- Flexible, except RG-213/U is Bend and Stay
- Max. Temperature: See table
- Insulation: PVC Plastic, except RG-316/U is FEP 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.
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.

Coaxial Cable Ratchet Crimpers
The ratchet applies the correct pressure to ensure a complete crimp every time.
Select the appropriate crimper by multiplying the outside diameter of your coaxial connector’s ferrule by 0.87 and choosing the crimper with the closest matching cavity size.
