1 Coaxial Solutions Guide General offers a complete line of Carol Brand Coaxial s for today s sophisticated high-speed, wide-bandwidth electronics products that run over long distances with minimal signal loss or degradation. General has the right coaxial cable to serve every application, including: CATV/MATV/DBS HDTV/SDI CCTV The General Coaxial Solutions Guide is a quick-reference tool to make it easier to specify and sell the right cable for the required application residential, commercial, entertainment and security. Whatever the application calls for, we have a coaxial cable that delivers the performance your customers need. CATV/MATV/DBS Broadband signal, 5MHz 3GHz, VHF/UHF, is traditionally transmitted as an analog signal received directly off air (MATV) or delivered as a community access television (CATV) service and uses a 75 Ohm system. Recommended Coaxial Construction: Copper clad steel (CCS) conductor with a foam polyethylene or Teflon* core, an aluminum/mylar* foil, a minimum of 60% braid, which is typically aluminum (AL) for this application, and a PVC jacket. For home use, a CM rated coax should be used. A commercial application may require a National Electrical Code (NEC 800 or 725) Riser (CMR) or Plenum (CMP) rated cable. Economical cable solutions use low smoke PVC (75 C) jackets. Teflon* (FEP) and other fluoropolymer materials (1 C) may be used to provide a more durable and higher-temperature cable alternative. It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is better than RG 59. While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is a larger cable than RG 59. RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular frequencies. For example, at MHz, General s Carol Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of db/'. A similar construction Carol Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value (loss) at MHz frequency of 2.70db/'. This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run. For a longer cable run, or if the coax cable is planned for use as the backbone in a system, Carol Brand part number C39 RG 11 coax cable should be used, because its attenuation at MHz frequency is 1.30 db/'.
