2 Size Attenuation is primarily a function of cable size. Basic products are available in the two most widely used sizes, 6 and series cable will meet most of your needs. For longer drops, choose 11 due to the lower attenuation values. Basic products feature copper clad steel center conductor and foam polyethylene dielectric. Attenuation (@68 F (20 C)) Frequency 6 Series 11 Series (MHz) db/100 ft d/b/100 m db/100 ft db/100 m Other Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics Impedance: 75 ohms Velocity of Propagation: 85% Standard Shield Tri-Shield Super-Shield Shielding The minimum recommended shielding for drop cable is an inner shield of aluminum-polypropylene-aluminum laminated tape bonded to the dielectric and a 60 percent braid of 34 AWG bare aluminum braid wire. This level of shielding is adequate for most of your applications and meets SCTE requirements. Additional shielding is available to provide greater protection against signal ingress and egress. All Basic Products are available in 4 shielding options: Good... tape % braid Jacket High quality PVC with flame retardant for indoor applications. PVC for outdoor aerial applications. PE for underground applications to resist abrasion and cuts Better... tape % braid + non-bonded tape (Tri-Shield) + 60 % braid Best... tape % braid... + non-bonded tape % braid (Super-Shield)

Contact our Customer Service Department for specific information. BrightWire is a dry, anti-corrosive treatment that chemically combines with metal components to form a protective shield against water and subsequent corrosion. (Exceeds the SCTE requirement for corrosion resistant cable.) BrightWire treatment is available on all PVC products and can be recognized by its gold colored tape. APD is a non-flowing, amorphous polypropylene flooding compound. Specify BrightWire or APD when ordering product: F1160BV-BW (BrightWire anti-corrosive treatment) F1160BV-APD (APD anti-corrosive treatment) 75 Ohms 85% Attenuation (@68?F (20 C)) Frequency (MHz) Max.
