Coaxial Cable

Shielded

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

Shielded—Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

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

Coaxial Cable Ratchet Crimpers


For Crimp-On F-Type Connection	For Crimp-On BNC Connection

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.
