Belden 7916AP 877, Coax DBS Cable 18 AWG FFEP FLRST Natural
Description
Belden 7916AP 877 is a Series 6 broadband coax cable for high-performance CATV, RF drop cable, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), and Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna runs. It features an 18 AWG solid BC - Bare Copper conductor, FEP - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (Foam) insulation, and a Quad Shield (F/B+F/B) construction to help maintain signal integrity. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride Flamarrest® jacket is CMP Plenum rated for indoor plenum installations where fire performance is required. Electrical performance includes 75 Ohm nominal impedance, published return loss through 3000 MHz, and nominal attenuation data through 1000 MHz.
Belden 7916AP 877 Key Features
- Series 6 broadband coax cable with RG 6 coax type and coaxial construction.
- 18 AWG solid BC - Bare Copper conductor for consistent center-conductor performance.
- FEP - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (Foam) insulation with FFEP-foamed (cellular) dielectric material.
- Quad Shield (F/B+F/B) design with tape and braid layers to help support signal integrity.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride Flamarrest® jacket with plenum fire rating and CMP designation.
- 75 Ohm nominal characteristic impedance with published attenuation and return loss data.
