Superior Performance for High-Frequency ApplicationsEngineered for RF signal transmission from DC up to 3000 MHz, RG178 cable assemblies maintain stable 50 Ohm impedance and minimal signal loss. Their PTFE insulation and robust silver plated copper braid enhance signal integrity, making these cables ideal for demanding telecommunication, antenna, and wireless device environments.
Enhanced Safety with Low Smoke, Halogen-Free ConstructionThe FEP jacket and PTFE dielectric not only provide chemical resistance and durability but also contribute to the cable's low smoke and halogen-free properties. With UL VW-1 flame rating and RoHS compliance, RG178 cables support superior safety standards in sensitive installations.
Flexible Design with Reliable Connectivity OptionsRG178 cable assemblies offer customizable lengths and a choice of SMA, BNC, TNC, U.FL, or tailored connectors to suit specific requirements. The single-core solid or stranded conductor guarantees versatility and optimal fit for various high-frequency setups.
FAQ's of RG178 Cable Assemblies:
Q: How does the silver plated copper braid shielding benefit RG178 cable assemblies?
A: The silver plated copper braid shielding significantly enhances electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and improves signal quality, making RG178 cable assemblies highly effective for RF transmission in high-frequency environments.
Q: What is the typical usage of RG178 cables with PTFE insulation and FEP jacket material?
A: These cables are commonly used in telecommunications, antennas, and wireless devices due to their excellent electrical performance, high flex endurance, and resistance to harsh thermal and chemical conditions.
Q: When should RG178 cable assemblies be chosen over other coaxial cables?
A: RG178 cable assemblies are preferred when projects require compact size (approx. 1.8 mm OD), flexible installation with a 10 mm bend radius, and low signal attenuation for frequencies up to 3000 MHz, especially in mission-critical RF applications.
Q: Where are flame rated, low-smoke, halogen-free cables most beneficial?
A: Cables with a UL VW-1 flame rating and low-smoke, halogen-free design-such as RG178-are essential in public spaces, sensitive industrial settings, and electronics installations where enhanced fire safety and reduced toxicity are required.
Q: What is the process for customizing RG178 cable assemblies for specific applications?
A: Customers can specify the required cable length, connector type (SMA, BNC, TNC, U.FL, etc.), and additional assembly configurations to suit unique application needs. Suppliers in India offer tailored manufacturing to meet precise project requirements.
Q: How do RG178 cable assemblies withstand mechanical stress and voltage surges?
A: Designed with high flex endurance and durable materials, RG178 cable assemblies can handle frequent bending and are rated for voltage surges up to 1.0 kV (peak), ensuring reliable performance in dynamic and high-voltage environments.
Q: What advantages does PTFE dielectric provide in RG178 cable assemblies?
A: PTFE dielectric offers low capacitance, exceptional thermal stability (-55C to +165C), chemical inertness, and robust insulation, all of which help maintain consistent signal transmission and durability in high-frequency applications.
