Description:

Solid Conductors: Solid copper conductors are popular on many CCTV installations. Solid conductors provide less chance for distortion and line loss than copper covered steel. However, copper is a soft material and will break if repeatedly flexed. It is best used on permanent installation.

Shielding: In coaxial applications, shielding is an important part of the overall composition of the cable. Shielding not only protects the loss of signal in high frequency application, but also helps to prevent EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) in the circuit. There are three popular types of shielding: overall foil, braid and foil/braid.

Foil Shield
Foil shields are commonly used as an effective, low cost application to prevent EMI/RFI interference. The construction consists of a layer of aluminum with a polyester backing that is overlapped to provide 100% coverage.

Braid Shield
Braid shields are constructed of thin strands of aluminum, tinned copper or bare copper that are interwoven. Many different coverages are available with 40-67% aluminum and 95% copper being the most popular. High percentage braided shields offer an excellent protection from EMI and RFI and are popular in CCTV applications.

Coax Cable: Foil/braid shielding is extremely popular with CATV and MATV applications. The 100% aluminum foil is accompanied by a braided shield to provide improved protection from EMI and RFI.

The Jacket: The outer sheath found on most coaxial cables is called the jacket. The main function of the jacket is for protection from the environment and as an additional form of insulation. The compounds used to make the jacket may have different temperature ratings. The temperature rating of a cable, along with the location rating (i.e. plenum, wet, sunlight resistant etc.) will determine the minimum or maximum operating temperature of the cable. In today’s multi-application world, many jacketing choices exist:
PVC-Polyvinyl Chloride: Very flexible thermo-plastic material commonly used on general purpose coaxial products. Temperature rating: -40 to 80ŞC.

PE-Polyethylene: A thermoplastic material which exhibits excellent electrical properties. Often used in direct burial applications. Temperature rating: -55 to 85ŞC.

FEP-Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene: A thermoplastic material with good insulating properties. Excellent in high temperature, plenum and chemical environments. Temperature rating: -50 to 200ŞC
