Semi-Finished Coaxial Cable – RG8 CCS/96/AL (50Ω)
1.Detailed Construction
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Inner Conductor | Solid Copper-Clad Steel (CCS), ~2.70 mm – high strength, cost-efficient |
| Dielectric | Foamed Polyethylene (PE), ~7.20 mm – stable signal propagation, low capacitance |
| Shielding (Braid) | 96 strands of bare Aluminum (AL) – higher coverage (~75–80%) than 64-wire versions |
| Outer Jacket | Not included – semi-finished for custom jacketing with PVC, PE, or LSZH |
2. Typical Dimensions
| Item | Size |
|---|---|
| Inner Conductor Diameter | ~2.70 mm |
| Dielectric Diameter | ~7.20 mm |
| Braid Outer Diameter | ~8.20 mm |
| Finished Cable OD (jacketed) | ~10.30–10.50 mm |
3. Electrical & Mechanical Performance (Typical)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Characteristic Impedance | 50 ± 3 ohms |
| Capacitance | ~100 pF/m |
| Shielding Effectiveness | ~75–80% |
| Attenuation @ 100 MHz | ~6.1 dB/100 m |
| Corrosion Resistance | Low (bare AL is prone to oxidation) |
| Mechanical Durability | High (strong CCS core) |
4. Application Scenarios
Medium-range RF and data transmission
Indoor communication setups with moderate EMI
OEMs that want low-cost shielding with decent coverage
Custom jacketing for local branding or market-specific specs
5. Compared to Other RG8 Semi-Finished Cables
| Type | Shield | Coverage | Shield Material | Cost | EMI Protection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCS/48/AL | 48-wire braid | ~50–60% | Bare Aluminum | Very Low | Low |
| CCS/64/AL | 64-wire braid | ~60–70% | Bare Aluminum | Low | Medium |
| CCS/96/AL | 96-wire braid | ~75–80% | Bare Aluminum | Medium | Medium-High |
| CCS/96/CCA | 96-wire braid | ~85–90% | Copper-Clad Aluminum | Higher | High |
