Flame Retardant RG6 Coaxial cables

Flame Retardant 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 to MIL-C-17
