DESCRIPTION
The Extron RG59 Series Cable is a single conductor coaxial cable designed for a wide range
of analog A/V system, HDTV, and digital SDI applications. The RG59 Cable comprises a single,
solid, bare copper, 20 AWG, 75 ohm conductor in a foamed PE dielectric wrapped in a foil shield
with 100% shield coverage plus a tinned copper braid shield with 95% shield coverage.
The plenum version has a plenum-rated jacket constructed with special fire protectant agents
for use in applications where National Electric Code CMP cable must be installed. Plenum
cable can be run through open air spaces, eliminating the need for conduit and reducing
installation costs.
