Conversions Tech 20-foot RG179 coaxial jumper cable engineered for applications requiring a 75 Ω characteristic impedance and minimal signal attenuation. This assembly features a BNC male connector on one end and a BNC female connector on the other, supporting stable signal integrity up to moderate RF, video, and test frequencies.
Key Attributes
- Cable Type: RG179 (75 Ω nominal impedance)
- Dielectric: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for low dielectric loss
- Shielding: Silver- or tin-plated copper braid providing EMI/RFI protection
- Connectors: BNC Male (one end) and BNC Female (other end)
- Jacket Material: PTFE or FEP (manufacturer-specific) with high-temperature resistance
- Cable Diameter: Small footprint allows easy routing in constrained spaces
Use Cases
- Laboratory & Testing: Reliable connections for oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and other bench equipment.
- Professional A/V: Ideal for analog or SDI video signal transmission in 75 Ω broadcast systems.
- Security & Surveillance: Compact interconnections for CCTV cameras and DVR inputs.
- RF & Microwave Applications: Suitable for low-power antenna feeds and general RF interconnects within specified frequency ranges.
