VIDEO CABLES
VIDEO CABLES
Original coax standard for broadcast or production quality
analog video applications. The precision coax series fea-
tures a 20 gage solid (or 22 gage stranded) center
conductor and solid polyethylene dielectric for low
attenuation, tight tolerance 75S impedance, and
1GHz bandwidth. The precision coax series is
ideal when extra durability is desired or for
existing installations that still utilize the pre-
cision cable format. For digital video or
new analog video installations, the High
Definition coax series is recommended
due to the increased bandwidth, lower
attenuation, and greater ease of termi-
nation.
