RG59/U Single Shield Bare Copper CMP – 75-Ohm Coaxial Cable for Plenum-Rated Installations

RG59/U Single Shield BC CMP is a 75-ohm coaxial cable designed for CCTV, analog video, and RF signal transmission in commercial and residential plenum spaces. Featuring a solid bare copper (BC) conductor for superior signal quality, single shielding for EMI/RFI protection, and a CMP (Plenum) fire-rated jacket for compliance with strict building codes, this cable is ideal for high-performance, low-loss video and RF applications.

Key Features

1. CMP (Plenum) Fire-Rated for Safe Indoor Use

• CMP-rated per UL 910, ensuring low-smoke, flame-resistant properties for plenum spaces.
• Compliant with NEC and NFPA standards, making it suitable for air-handling spaces in commercial buildings.

2. 75-Ohm Impedance for High-Quality Signal Transmission

• Optimized for CCTV surveillance, analog video, and RF signal distribution.
• Provides low signal loss and stable transmission over short- to medium-range distances.
• Compatible with BNC, RCA, and F-type connectors for versatile installations.

3. Bare Copper (BC) Conductor for Superior Conductivity

• Solid BC conductor ensures high signal integrity and low attenuation.
• Offers better performance than Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) in video and RF applications.

4. Single Shielding for Basic EMI/RFI Protection

• Features aluminum foil + braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
• Provides adequate noise rejection for security and broadcast applications.

5. CMP-Rated Jacket for Durability & Fire Safety

• Plenum-rated (CMP) jacket allows installation in air ducts and ceiling spaces.
• Low-smoke, flame-retardant material ensures compliance with building safety standards.
