What is RG 316 cable?
What is RG 316 cable?
RG316 is a coaxial cable with a stranded silver-covered copper-clad steel conductor made with seven strands of 0.0067-inch diameter wire. The conductor has a solid polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric insulation that allows a wide range of operating temperatures from 200ºC down to -55ºC.
What is the difference between RG316 and RG178?
The difference in attenuation between RG178 and RG316 cannot be caused by the conductor material since they are both composed of a silver-coated, copper-clad steel conductor. Although these cables are similar, the RG178 has almost twice as much attenuation as RG316.
What is RG rating on coaxial cable?
When referring to different types of coaxial cables, RG stands for “Radio Guide,” a designation derived from World War II military specifications. Each type of coaxial cable has a different RG rating to help distinguish the cables’ distinct characteristics and specifications.
What is the specification of coaxial cable?
RF Coaxial Cable Specifications
| Properties of Coaxial Cable Dielectrics(c = speed of light in a vacuum) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Dielectric Type | Time Delay(ns/ft) | Propagation Velocity |
| Foam Polyethylene (FE) | 1.27 | 0.800c |
| Foam Polystyrene (FS) | 1.12 | 0.910c |
| Air Space Polyethylene (ASP) | 1.15-1.21 | 0.840c-0.880c |
What does RG rating specify?
Coaxial cables use RG ratings to distinguish between the different kinds of cables. RG is an old, mostly forgotten military term that stands for “radio guide.” The number distinguishes the different cable specifications, but they are randomly assigned, so don’t look for some type of order in the numbers.
What is the highest bandwidth of coaxial cable?
Coaxial cable supports 10 to 100 Mbps and is relatively inexpensive, although it is more costly than UTP on a per-unit length. However, coaxial cable can be cheaper for a physical bus topology because less cable will be needed. Coaxial cable can be cabled over longer distances than twisted-pair cable.
What AWG is RG316?
