4 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 db/100 m db/100 ft db/100 m Other Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics Impedance: 75 ohms Velocity of Propogation: 85% *F11 with integrated messenger features a copper clad aluminum center conductor. 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: Bonded tape + 60 percent braid Bonded tape + 90 percent 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. Bonded tape + 77 percent braid (F6) + tape (TriShield) + 60 percent braid (F11) Bonded tape + 60 percent braid + tape + 40 percent braid (SuperShield) For more information, call , fax or visit our website at 3
