Product Information

While all coaxial cables are used to transmit signals, they are not all the same. Coaxial cables vary in size, material, and shielding. Each type of coax cable works best with specific applications. Coaxal Cable Types Impedance is the amount of resistance waves moving through the coaxial cable encounters. The lower the impedance, the easier the waves flow through the cable. Each type of cable has an impedance rating. Factors affecting this are the size and materials of the cable.

When selecting a coaxial connector, you will need to know the key parameters of the cable you plan to connect. These include: Ohm cables tend to be better for high power handling applications. These could be commercial boosters, broadcasting TV transmitters, and ham radios. 75 Ohm cables are the popular choice for home and office applications. They're used for residential signal booster installations, cable TV boxes, internet routers, and the like. These are general rules and do not apply to all types of cable. Our coaxial cables are outdoor rated, but not direct burial rated. Does It Matter What Coaxial Cable I Use?There are many online calculators you can use as well as formulas for manual calculation. Important Coaxial Cable Features to Consider Before You Buy All coaxial cables are rated for different applications. The rating tells you everything you need to know about where the cable can be SAFELY installed. The most common are: Cable internet uses coax cable to provide your home with internet. The copper-based cable is piped into your house from the cable service provider. Your router or cable modem connects to a coax or ethernet outlet to receive the signal. You can then wire your devices to the router or connect via WiFi for speedy internet access. Ham Radio Note that the terms ‘male’ and ‘female’ are not universally used, especially in relation to lower voltage domestic appliances. Widely used electrical standard IEC60320 does not specify gender types for the latter.

Signal loss doesn’t end there. Mixing and matching 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm cables and systems (more on this later) can lead to further signal loss. While you can customize your installation with connectors and adapters, it's best to stay consistent. Coaxial cables are durable, easy to install, and have a broad range of uses. Their design allows rapid signal transmission (around 10 megabits per second) with minimal electro-magnetic interference or signal loss. Coaxial cables are the default cabling choice for many low voltage consumer electronics. As a result, RF signals can be carried over long distances with little interference or loss. Depending on your application, the signal is then converted into images, audio, WiFi, or amplified cell reception. What are the Uses and Applications of Coaxial Cables Ham radio is a means for people to communicate over airwaves. Coaxial cable connected to the antenna provides a stronger signal. Ham radios can be set up in the middle of nowhere and do not require internet or cell phone technology. Basic RF Systems

How Do Coaxial Cables Work?

In coaxial cables, Ohm refers to the impedance, which is the measure of resistance in the cable to the flow of electrical energy. What’s RF coaxial cable? Wilson Amplifiers is the leading provider of cellular boosters and coaxial cables. If you’re looking for high-quality coax cable to stay connected, we can help you. Give us a call and we’ll help you find the right one. The first layer, called the dielectric, provides distance between the core conductor and the outer layers, as well as some insulation. There are two main types of coaxial cables – ones with an impedance of 75 Ohm (Ω) and ones with an impedance of 50 Ohm.
