Belden 8281F J5C, RG 59 U Coax Cable 22 AWG Double Braided PVC

Description
Belden 8281F J5C is a 75 Ohm RG-59/U analog video coax with a 21 AWG (7x29) BC-C - Bare Copper (Compacted) conductor, PE - Polyethylene (Solid) dielectric, and a PVC-Polyvinyl Chloride jacket. It features a double braid shield with two 95% Tinned Copper (TC) braid layers and a 0.304 in (7.72 mm) nominal overall diameter. Electrical performance includes a 2900 V voltage rating, return loss of 27 dB (min. return loss) from 2 - 216 MHz and 23 dB (min. return loss) from 217 - 830 MHz, plus nominal attenuation values specified up to 1000 MHz.
