Description
RG-179 DS is an enhanced version of the standard RG-179, specifically designed to provide superior shielding effectiveness. The “DS” designation indicates a Double Shielded construction, which typically consists of two layers of silver-plated copper braid. This dual-shielding system provides significantly higher RF isolation and lower signal leakage than single-shielded versions, making it indispensable for high-density equipment racks where signal cross-talk must be eliminated.
The cable is built around a silver-plated copper-clad steel (SPCCS) center conductor and a high-stability PTFE (Teflon) dielectric. This internal architecture ensures low attenuation and exceptional signal clarity for digital video and high-frequency data. Encased in a rugged FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) jacket, the RG-179 DS maintains its electrical and mechanical integrity across a wide temperature range of -55°C to +200°C. It is the standard for high-performance internal video routing and is most commonly terminated with 75 Ohm BNC, DIN 1.0/2.3, or SMA connectors.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Superior Double Shielding: Two layers of silver-plated braid offer exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
-
Enhanced Signal Isolation: The double-shielded design minimizes signal egress (leakage), ensuring that high-speed digital signals do not interfere with adjacent cables in tight bundles.
-
Exceptional Thermal Stability: The PTFE/FEP construction allows for reliable operation in high-heat environments where standard PVC-jacketed cables would fail.
-
Silver-Plated Performance: The use of silver-plating on both shields and the center conductor maximizes conductivity and ensures long-term resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
-
Sub-Miniature Precision: Maintains a small footprint for space-constrained applications while providing the performance characteristics of much larger professional video cables.
