Belden 7916A 010, 18 AWG LDPE FRPVC Black

Belden 7916A 010 is a Series 6 RG 6 coaxial cable with an 18 AWG solid 0.04 in BC - Bare Copper conductor and a black PVC jacket. It is designed for 75 Ohm signal performance in HDTV, DBS, broadband CATV, and Cable Modem installations. The cable features gas-injected FPE-Foamed (Cellular) Polyethylene insulation and a quad shield (F/B+F/B) design with Duobond® II and Duofoil® tri-laminate tapes plus aluminum braids (60% and 40% coverage). It is intended for indoor (not riser or plenum) environments.
