Belden 7790A B59, Coax Bundled Miniature 6C 23 AWG PVC Black Matte
Description
Belden 7790A B59 is a digital coax snake cable for professional SDI/HDTV digital video, including SMPTE 2081-1 6 Gb/s UHDTV and SMPTE 424M 3 Gb/s HD-SDI 1080p applications. It is built with 6 sub-miniature coax lines using 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors, gas-injected foam HDPE insulation, and a 75 Ohm nominal characteristic impedance. Each coax uses Duofoil® tape plus a 95% tinned copper (TC) braid, with a PVC inner jacket and PVC outer jacket. The bundled construction is suited for indoor/outdoor use and meets Riser-CMR requirements.
