Properties of popular coaxial cables. Set your store to see local availability add to cart. Fully swept test up to 3 ghz is ideal for applications which requires high frequency level signals. Note that attenuation values are given at 400 mhz but can and do often have significantly different values at other frequencies.

The same goes for wall plates. Always check with a coaxial cable vendor for values specific to the type you plan to use. An rg 6 u coaxial cable has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms. Many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.

From digital television to internet to phone service cable has become a major medium in the multibillion dollar telecommunications industry.
