RG179 – Flexible Coaxial Cable (75 Ohm)

• The RG179 Coax Cable is a 75-ohm coax cable used in a variety of applications including security systems where high temperature is required.
• With a temperature maximum of 200°C, RG 179 cable also features a small, flexible diameter and a TFE taped outer jacket because of the high-temperature rating.

RG179 Coax Cable Uses and Applications

RG 179 coax cable applications include medical equipment, video security systems, audio security systems (where high-temperature performance is required), and computer applications.
