Fixed installation
Primary 75 Ω backbone cable for stadium risers, underground ducts, and outdoor aerial messenger spans.
Product
RG-11 is a heavy-duty 75 Ω low-loss coaxial trunk cable (Ø 10.30 mm / 0.405 in) engineered with a 14 AWG (Ø 1.63 mm) solid bare copper or copper-clad steel center conductor and Ø 7.11 mm gas-injected foam polyethylene dielectric (82–84 % VoP, 53 pF/m) to
Typical values for this cable type, based on MIL-C-17 / SCTE 74 / SMPTE ST 2082 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for long-haul stadium and airport broadcast SDI trunks, DOCSIS 3.1/4.0 CATV distribution drops over 50 m, satellite L-band IF runs, and long-distance highway/perimeter CCTV.
Primary 75 Ω backbone cable for stadium risers, underground ducts, and outdoor aerial messenger spans.
Terminates at trunk bulkhead patch panels; use flexible RG-59 or RG-6 pigtails to equipment ports.
Stranded 14 AWG (7×0.61 mm) OB broadcast version available for deployable stadium camera drums.
10.30 mm trunk coaxial cable is not intended for linear drag chains.
