<p>Coaxial cables, also called coax cables, are a form of electrical cable which carries radio frequency (RF) signals. Historically they have been used to connect satellite antenna facilities to homes and businesses.</p><h2>How do Coaxial Cables work?</h2><p>These cables carry data via the centre conductor, usually a copper wire, which is surrounded by a tubular dielectric plastic insulator. They feature a shielded design which protects the internal conductor from damage and electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring rapid and reliable signal transmission. The shield is commonly made of braided copper mesh, which is contained in an insulating outer jacket.</p><p>Coax cables have a distinctive shape which is thick and round due to their interior insulation layer. The most common sizes are: RG-6, RG-11 and RG-59. They also have a transmission speed of 10Mbps (megabits per second) and have a much higher transmission capacity than twisted pair cables. They can be connected to other devices using coaxial cable connectors, such as BNC, TNC, SMB, 7/6 DIN connectors, QMC, MCX, and RCA connectors.</p><h3>Benefits of Coaxial Cables:</h3><li>Durable</li><li>Easy to install</li><li>Resistant to EMI</li><li>Designed to transmit signals over long distances</li><h4>Coaxial Cable Applications</h4><p>Coaxial cables can be used in applications such as feedlines connecting radio transmitters and receivers with their antennas, computer network (internet) connections, distributing cable television signals, CCTV, digital audio (S/PDIF), and video.</p><p>At RS we have a broad range of coax cables from trusted brands such as Alpha Wire, Hirose, Belden, Molex, Amphenol, Huber+Suhner, Phoenix Contact, Atem, RS Pro, and many more to help you find the ideal choice for any application.

RG59 Cable | RS

<p>RG59 Cable is a type of coaxial cable ideal for use with RF signal and low power, analogue video type applications. RG59 coaxial cables feature multiple small intertwined fibres, making them much more flexible than other types of coaxial cables. RG59 cables are commonly single shielded coaxial cables and feature a small diameter and centre conductor.</p><h2>Where is RG59 cable used?</h2><p>RG59 cables feature flexible fibres that are small in diameter, making them ideal for use in tight spaces. Due to the compact conductor sizes and shielding, they are best suited for analogue video settings such as observational cameras in public spaces. As a result, It is not recommended to use RG59 cables for applications that feature high frequencies over long distances.</p>

Belden Coaxial Cable | RS

<p>If you're looking for coaxial cables that can handle a diverse range of audio, video, or data transmission needs with minimal signal loss and interference, choose from our range of coaxial cables by Belden.</p><h2>What is Coaxial Cable and how does it work?</h2><p>A coaxial cable (also known as coax cable) is a type of electrical cable. It is made up of a central conductor (usually copper wire) which is surrounded by a dielectric plastic insulator. This is then encased in a braided mesh to shield the cable from EMI (electromagnetic interference). This construction is finally enclosed in an insulated external layer, such as a PVC jacket.</p><p>It works by carrying the signal or electrical current along the central conductor. Its insulating layer and metallic shield ensures reliable protection against loss of signal and interference, while the outer layer provides an additional protective barrier against environmental conditions.</p><h3>What are Coaxial Cables used for?</h3><p>Coaxial cables are typically used for transmitting data, video and audio communications, and networking. You'll find these cables commonly used in TV and radio broadcasting, surveillance systems, and internet/data communication for homes and businesses. They are relied upon due to their high bandwidth capabilities, ability to transmit signals over long distances, and their resistance to EMI.</p><p>Belden has a broad portfolio of coaxial cables you can choose from here at RS, including 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm impedance cables. Their 50 Ohm models are perfect for carrying power and voltage signals over long distances, maintaining signal strength and integrity.
