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-6/U cable is good for medium to high frequency transmissions and is often used in satellite signal transmission. 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. Quad shielded cable has two layers of braid and two layers of foil for the most protection against signal interference and the clearest signal.
Coaxial Cords
Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.
SMA and F-Type cords screw on.
RG-6/U cords are good for medium to high frequency transmissions and are often used in satellite signal transmission.
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.

Confined-Space Coaxial Cable Strippers
This tool turns like a screwdriver to strip a short coaxial cable in a tight space. It includes a replaceable blade cartridge.
Ethernet and Coaxial Cable Strippers
Strip both Ethernet and coaxial cable using the four replaceable blade cartridges. The Ethernet cable cartridge strips the outer insulation of unshielded twisted-pair cable. Two coaxial cable cartridges are for two-layer stripping; one is for one-layer stripping.
