2 2 the soundest & safest transmission lines Coaxial cable is the soundest and safest way for transmitting radiofrequency signals Televés declares its compromise with the conservancy of the environment On the other hand, radiofrequency contamination is a common problem nowadays. As a sample of the deep compromise of Televés with the ecology, we recommend to keep in mind those actitudes that contribute to maintain an environment free of any sort of contamination, either pollution due to garbage or due to electromagnetic contamination. Following these targets we manufacture cable reels fully recycled like, avoiding, as far as it is possible, the use of plastics. The radiofrequency spectrum is full of interfering and spurious signals originated by sources like TV relay stations, radio transmitters, motor circuits, appliances,... etc. All these signals can cause misfunctioning of many digital devices, interfere the TV pictures since they ingress into the TV distribution network via the elements of it like the coaxial cable, and

3 Coaxial Cable 3 the soundest & safest transmission lines even can be a threat to one s health. And furthermore, as a means that carries high frequency, the coaxial cable can be a source of interfering signals since the radiofrequency can egress out of the cable if it is not of a good quality. By using a good coaxial cable two important aspects are covered: a) Inmunity against external interferences No Radiation Interferences Free b) Avoid radiation of signal to the environment Televés coaxial cable range fulfill all these aspects and guarantee suppression of both radiation and interference signals. Let us lead an important role of a healthy home programme. Digital signals Features the best bandwidth either for analog or digital signals. Healthy home Due to its construction and inherent characteristics, it does not radiate nor permits ingress of signals within it. Ecology The coaxial cable does not contaminate the environment with interfering signals. Privacy The coaxial cable is secure. No intrusion is allowed and therefore it ensures the confidentiality of any information being transmitted along it. Communication way The coaxial cable is present in any part of the house and hence it can be the best support for the home communications in a digital world.

4 4 Useful coaxial cable information Price should be the last factor to take into account for selecting a coaxial cable for a particular installation. Keep in mind that the contribution of coaxial cable in the installation budget is: for collective installations 4%, and for individual installations 6%. Nevertheless, cable contribution to the image quality is essencial, saving installation of additional amplifiers when using an adequate coaxial cable of low attenuation. Class A coaxial cable This provides a braid covering higher than 73% as well as fully compliance with Class A standard Televés is compromised with the environment by using materials subject to be recycled, avoiding the use of plastics as far as it is possible COAXIAL CABLE FRENCH MARKING STANDARD C90-132: Marking Value Example for marking 19VAtCA 19 V At C A XX P/V Rc/Rt/At M/C A XX: attenuation at 800 MHz; P : black PE outer sheath, UV resistant, outdoor use; V : white PVC outer sheath, indoor use Rc : welded copper shielding foil; Rt : copper shielding foil + copper braid; At : aluminium shielding foil + copper braid M : solid polyethylene; C : foamed polyethylene; A : copper clad steel 1 INNER CONDUCTOR It plays an important role in the cable attenuation, the higher its diameter the lower the cable attenuation. On the other hand it contributes to improve its mechanical tensile strength properties. CCS for much better mechanical behavior but worst electrical resistance and attenuations. Good quality of the inner conductor together with an appropriate expanded dielectric guarantee velocity ratios higher than 80% thus making these CABLES FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH DIGITAL TRANSMISSIONS. Regarding the inner conductor, from good to worse response the order is: 1 - copper (Cu) 2 - copper-clad aluminium (CCA) 3 - copper-clad steel (CCS) 2 DIELECTRIC Inner conductors are manufactured in two materials: COPPER (Cu) and COPPER-CLAD STEEL (CCS). Cu for low electrical resistance and excellent response in both low and high frequencies. LOW ELECTRICAL DC RESISTANCE is an important parameter to take into account, e.g. when the cable is used to power devices like DiSEqC switches where the voltage controls their capacity to select horizontal or vertical polarisation; amplifirers being DC remote-powered through the coaxial cable, multi-switches,...etc. Televés cables feature EXPANDED DIELECTRIC, made of polyethylene being expanded by injection of gas within it. Coaxial cable life tests, during 21 days at 40ºC and humidity 93%, have proved that cable attenuation increasing is less than 5%.

5 Coaxial Cable 5 Other coaxial cables featuring chemically expanded dielectric have increased their attenuation almost 70%. 3 SHIELDING FOIL Two types are available: A) Copper+Polyester and B) Aluminium+Polyester+Aluminium COPPER+POLYESTER laminated film GUARANTEES AN EXCELLENT CONDUCTIVITY AND SHIELDING against interferences. Polyester film ensures the right flexibility of the assembly when it is being bent. The shielding foil combined with the additional braid provides higher shielding efficiency throughout frequency spectrum, since together they get good strength, low DC electrical resistance and 100% foil coverage copper-clad steel (CCS) 5 ANTIMIGRATING FILM Prevents migration of sheat additives and humidity within the cable, thus avoiding deterioration of the cable characteristics. 6 OUTER SHEATH Cable jacket protects against environmental conditions like sunlight, water, heat, chemicals. Televés cables are manufactured in three jacketing materials: PVC, PE and LSFH. 1 PVC (Polivynyl Clorhidre) is suitable for INDOOR USE. It features a good flexibility as well as good response against heat. Nevertheless it deteriorates rapidly if it is exposed to sunlight or water. PE (Polyethylene) is the right solution for OUTDOOR USE since it is waterproof. LSFH (Low Smoke Free Hallogen) strongly recommended for ESPECIAL INSTALLATIONS like hospitals, schools, airports, tunnels, shopping centers, hotels, theatres, transport stations; or buildings that receive/house high valued patrimonial objects: libraries, art galleries, museums; or control systems, industrial installations, alarms,... Cable sheath is permanent marked all along it, meter by meter., with type, reference, length marks,... BRAID 2 Braid provides both a great cable integrity and good flexibility. It is especially effective against low frequency interferences. 3 4 On the other hand, BRAID HAS LOWER DC RESISTANCE than foil and together with the inner conductor determines the electrical resistance of the cable. 5 From low to higher resistance, materials are classified: 1 - copper (Cu) 2 - copper-clad aluminium (CCA) 6
