Flame Retardant RG59 B/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

Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the cable design.

Cable Construction

Conductors: Copper clad steel, solid according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 1.
Insulation: PE compound.
Overall Screen: Plain copper wire braid
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance,
anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance
standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the
PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
