RG6

Description

V RG-6 double-shield coaxial cable offers superior Electrical performance meeting all requirements of CATV, DTH, Broadband and Computer Network applications

Like most cables, RG-6-style cables are available in several different types designed for various applications, including:Plain or house wire is designed for indoor or external house wiring."Flooded" cable is infused with water blocking gel for use in underground conduit or direct burial.Messenger or aerial may contain some waterproofing but is distinguished by the addition of a steel messenger wire along its length to carry the tension involved in an aerial drop from a utility pole.Plenum wire comes with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket that burns but does not produce toxic smoke. The change away from PTFE took place as a result of deaths on board the HMS Sheffield in the Falklands War. Because of burning PTFE, 17 sailors died from inhalation of toxic smoke. PTFE is heat resistant but when faced with temperature inside a burning ship or building, it inevitably burns creating toxic gases. LSZH is typically irradiated PVC. Heating drives off volatiles that leaves the resulting product more heat resistant.
