Semi-Finished Coaxial Cable – RG11 CU/96/CCA
1. Structure and Dimensions (No Jacket)
| Layer | Material | Approximate Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Inner Conductor | Solid Copper (CU), Ø 1.63 mm (14 AWG) | 1.63 mm |
| Dielectric | Gas-Injected Foamed Polyethylene (FPE) | ~7.24 mm |
| First Shield | Aluminum-Polyester Foil (100% bonded) | — |
| Second Shield (Braid) | 96 wires of CCA (0.16–0.20 mm each) | ~60–65% coverage |
| Outer Jacket | Not included (semi-finished format) | — |
Outer Diameter (semi-finished core): ~7.8–8.0 mm
Outer Diameter (when finished with jacket): ~10.2–10.5 mm
2. Electrical Properties
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Impedance | 75 ohms |
| Capacitance | ~53 pF/m |
| Velocity of Propagation | ~85% (due to foamed dielectric) |
| Attenuation @ 100 MHz | ~4.9 dB/100m (lower than 64/48 braid) |
| Shielding Effectiveness | High (due to dense 96-wire braid) |
3. Key Advantages
Superior signal quality with low attenuation, ideal for long cable runs
Solid copper conductor ensures excellent electrical performance and low DC resistance
96-wire CCA braid offers stronger EMI/RFI shielding than 64 or 48-wire options
Customizable jacket application (PVC, PE, LSZH, UV-resistant) based on final use
OEM-friendly format for export, bundling, or armored cable manufacturing
4. Ideal Applications
High-performance CATV and satellite TV infrastructure
Broadband distribution systems in large-scale buildings or resorts
Integration into cables for:
Direct burial
UV-protected outdoor installations
Fire-resistant indoor cables
OEM and bulk production where custom finishing is required
5. Comparison with Other RG11 Semi-Finished Types
