Orders can't be cancelled once placed, and the cable isn't eligible for return, exchange, or refund. Please read the specifications below carefully before you order, and get in touch first if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the RG6 for security cameras: an 18 AWG solid bare copper center conductor and a dense 95% bare copper braid, the all-copper construction that analog CCTV and HD-over-coax systems are specified around. Aluminum-shielded CATV coax carries RF just fine, but a camera feed is baseband video with a return path through the shield, and it wants the low resistance of a copper braid from end to end, especially on a long run to a pole or a parking lot. The same construction also makes it a good choice for a run that has to carry power or DC control down the coax, and for broadcast and pro A\/V work where the braid is the ground. It's rated to 3 GHz, so it doubles as an ordinary CATV, satellite, DOCSIS, or MoCA cable when you need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flame-retardant PVC jacket is CM rated for general in-building use and UV resistant for a run that ends outside at a camera housing.

For a camera system, a 95% braid is the shield to look for; foil-only or 40% braid CATV cable can work on a short run but tends to pick up hum and ghosting on a long one. The center conductor is solid bare copper, so it carries DC comfortably; a coax with an 18 AWG copper center and a copper braid can power a camera over a few hundred feet, which copper-clad steel can't do well. This is a single-braid cable, not a foil-and-braid combination, so for a run through an electrically noisy area next to VFDs or a transmitter a quad shield has more RF rejection, though it gives up the copper braid. The jacket is CM rated, which covers general in-wall and in-ceiling use but not riser shafts between floors or return-air plenums; for those, use a CMR or CMP cable. UV resistance protects the tail at an outdoor camera housing, but PVC isn't a burial or full-exposure jacket, so a long outdoor run should be in conduit or should switch to a direct burial cable. Keep the bend radius above 3 inches and the pulling tension under 110 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003cthead\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\n\t\t\t\tSpec\n\t\t\t\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003e\n\t\t\t\tDetail\n\t\t\t\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tSeries\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPCC6AB\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tType\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tRG6, bare copper, CCTV grade\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCenter Conductor\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t18 AWG solid bare copper\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tDielectric\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tFoam polyethylene\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tShielding\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t95% bare copper braid\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tImpedance\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t75 Ω\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tFrequency Range\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tTo 3 GHz, sweep tested\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tVelocity of Propagation\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t83% nominal\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCapacitance\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t16.2 pF\/ft nominal\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tJacket\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tFlame-retardant PVC, UV resistant, CM rated\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tVoltage Rating\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t350 V RMS maximum\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tOperating Temperature\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t-20 °C to 60 °C\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tMinimum Bend Radius\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t3 in (minor axis)\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tMaximum Pulling Tension\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t110 lb\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tPackaging\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\t1000 ft pull box\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tColor\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tBlack\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tAvailability\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCloseout, final sale, not eligible for return or cancellation\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tCompliance\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\n\t\t\t\tUL Listed CM, RoHS\n\t\t\t\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n","brand":"Patch Cords Online","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44570230128962,"sku":"PCC6AB-1001BLK","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/2175\/5714\/products\/black-rg6-18awg-bc-braid-shield-cable.jpg?v=1676927283","url":"https:\/\/patchcordsonline.com\/products\/rg6-coax-cable-bc-18awg-95-bc","provider":"Patch Cords Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
