Generally designated by "RG" type. RG59 is the smallest (approximately 0.250"). RG6 is the most commonly used (approximately 0.275"). RG11 is the largest (approximately 0.400"). The smaller the cable, the higher the signal loss over length. Although RG11 has the lowest loss, it is difficult to work with due to its size, and most installations will work fine using an RG6 cable anyway.
This describes the layers of shielding in the cable. Bi-shield has a single tape and a single braid. Tri-shield has a layer of tape, followed by a layer of braid, with another layer of tape over the braid. Quad-shield adds one more layer of braid over the second tape. Triton Tri-shield is a tri-shield design (tape/braid/tape) that has a proprietary first tape that provides the highest level of shielding currently available in the market.
A jumper is generally less than 6 foot (72 inches) in length, and comes with connectors already installed. A coil is designed to be used in a cable bag, such as the MOGO or MOGO PRO, which also needs the reusable replacement reel. The reels for the longer lengths of cable can be either wood or plastic, based on the length and the weight of the reel.
These are available on many of the jumpers, and they provide a larger surface to grab when tightening the connector onto a port.
While black is the most common cable color, white is becoming more common for indoor use. Cables designed to be buried outdoors are frequently orange in color to make them easier to see when digging near the buried cable.
TRITON technology incorporates an enhanced layer of foil to provide superior shielding performance while maintaining the physical profile and ease of installation that characterize the entire MoCSY7 line. One of the most significant advances in the history of coaxial cable design, MOCSY7 coaxial cable with TRITON technology has been proven to deliver optimal service quality for extended use in harsh environments. With the enhanced layer of foil, TRITON provides a 20 dB improvement in shielding after 10,000 flexes as compared to other manufacturers’ cable.
Drop cable with revolutionary corrosion resistant technology combines true protection for your network with ease of installation. PCT’s Z-Wire utilizes a patented, water based, environmentally friendly binding process to deliver the “zero corrosion” performance that ensures the highest levels of network integrity for today’s sophisticated consumers. The dry, permanent coating on Z-Wire cable prevents corrosion from weather and air pollution and ensures system reliability and performance over time. And because the coating is dry, it is easier for installers to quickly complete a clean, secure installation.
Coaxial cable with 1PreP® rapid preparation technology bonds the cable jacket with the outer tape. This time saving process removes both the jacket and the outer tape in a single step during the cable preparation procedure. By eliminating the need to peel away the tape separately, 1PreP saves valuable time and money while utilizing current prep tools and procedures.
Cables designed to be used underground will frequently include what is called a flooding compound which is designed to keep moisture from migrating through the cable if the jacket gets damaged. A flooded cable is not designed to be used indoors - it should only be used outdoors.
