Introduction
From Military to Civilian U
Micro-coaxial cables are ud in various consumer devices,military equipment and ultra-sound scanning equipment.There are different shielding configurations for different applications.
Although fiber optics,T1/E1,satellite and other high-tech methods are becoming the new standards,radio and especially television networks are connected with long distance coaxial cables.The history of the cables starts with the Second World War when the standard types were ud by the military – when positive, reliable and trouble-free operation were esntial to get urs out of trouble. Today – for different other purpos,Belden’s cables offer performance cond to none.
Key Applications
•Computer networks
•Radio
•Television
•Consumer devices
•Military equipment Special Features
•Short Coaxial Cable
Connectivity for home video equipment,or in ham radio tups.Also commonly ud for implementing computer networks; in particular ethernet.
•Long Distance Coaxial Cable
Connect radio networks and television networks,though this has largely been superded by other more high-tech methods (fiber optics,T1/E1,satellite).It is still common for carrying cable television signals.
•Micro-Coaxial Cable
Ud in a range of consumer devices,military equipment,and also in ultra-sound scanning equipment.
Availability
Most of our MIL-C-17 coax cables are available from stock.Many of the are available off the shelf from distributors.If you have a new or unusual application or you cannot find a MIL-C-17 coax cable in this catalog ction that meets your technical requirements contact technical support at +31-77-3875-414 or techsupport.
Standard types of coaxial cable were specified for military us,in the form “RG-#”or “RG-#/U”(RG from radio guide,/U indicates multiple u).The ref-erences go back to World War II and were published in MIL-HDBK-216 (1962). The designations are now obsolete.
Currently the military standard is MIL-SPEC MIL-C-17.Numbers,such as
M17/75-RG214,are given for military cables and manufacturer’s catalog num-bers for civilian applications.However,the RG-ries designations were so com-mon for generations that they are still
ud.Plea be aware that since the handbook is withdrawn there is no standard to guarantee the electrical and physical characteristics of a cable described as “RG-# type”.
The RG designators are mostly ud to identify compatible connectors that fit the inner conductor,dielectric,and jacket dimensions of the old RG-ries cables.
