Belden 1506A 004, Coax RG 59 U Type 20 AWG FFEP Yellow
Description
Belden 1506A 004 is a 75 Ohm SDI coax designed for high-performance digital video, including 6 Gb/s UHDTV and HD-SDI 1080p applications. It uses an RG-59 construction with a 20 AWG solid bare copper conductor and FEP - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (Foam) insulation. Duofoil® tape plus a 95% tinned copper braid shield supports EMI/RFI protection, and the PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket is Yellow. This cable is rated CMP Plenum for indoor plenum installations.
