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.

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.
