Flame Retardant RG6 A/U Coaxial Cables
APPLICATION
The cables are designed for CCTV, security, smoke detection and evacuation monitoring applications, where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. Due to the zero halogen low smoke construction, this cable is ideal for use in public, commercial and industrial environments.
STANDARDS
- Basic design adapted to MIL-C-17
