Coaxial Cable/RF Cables

Coaxial cables are initially designed for radio frequency transmission. Nowadays, it is used to transmit data in Local Area Networking. The general applications include RF antennas, TV and Video signals transmissions, Cellular and trunk systems applications, etc. And the choice of cable depends on the distance and the attenuations requirement.
