RG6/U Quad-Shield CMP Coaxial Cable – Fire-Rated for Plenum Installations
RG6/U Quad-Shield CMP is a 75-ohm coaxial cable engineered for high-performance signal transmission in plenum-rated environments, featuring quad shielding for maximum EMI/RFI protection and a CMP-rated low-smoke, fire-resistant jacket for compliance with strict building codes. This cable is ideal for CATV, satellite, broadband, and security applications in commercial and residential buildings.
Key Features
1. CMP-Rated Jacket for Safe Plenum Installations
- CMP (Plenum) rated per NFPA 262 and UL 910 for use in air-handling spaces.
- Low-smoke, fire-retardant materials reduce toxic emissions and improve safety.
- Required for commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and high-rise structures.
2. Quad Shielding for Maximum Signal Protection
- Four-layer shielding (Aluminum foil + Aluminum braid + Aluminum foil + Aluminum braid) ensures exceptional EMI/RFI rejection.
- Prevents signal interference in high-density environments.
- Enhances HDTV, broadband, and satellite signal clarity.
3. 75-Ohm Impedance for High-Frequency Applications
- Optimized for CATV, HDTV, broadband internet, and satellite communications.
- Supports frequencies up to 3 GHz for high-definition video and high-speed data transfer.
- Low attenuation ensures stable, long-distance performance.
4. Durable Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) Conductor
- 18 AWG CCS core provides structural strength and cost efficiency.
- Maintains excellent signal integrity and long-distance performance.
5. High-Security, Low-Smoke Jacket
- Made from flame-retardant, low-smoke materials for compliance with strict building codes.
- Suitable for plenum spaces such as ceilings, ducts, and ventilation areas.
- Enhances fire safety in public and commercial buildings.
