RG11 Coaxial Cable
Backbone/Backhaul Radio Systems
Information
RG-11 coaxial cable is a high-performance solution designed for demanding applications where signal integrity over long distances is paramount. While less common for typical in-room connections due to its stiffness and higher cost, it is an essential tool for ensuring strong, reliable signals in large-scale video and data distribution systems.
Features
Conductor: 14AWG Conductors ( e.g.Solid Copper,CCS )
Dielectric: Formed Polyethylene insulation
Shielding: Typically employs multiple layers of shielding (e.g., aluminum foil and aluminum braiding, copper braiding, CCA braiding,ect )
Sheath: Available with flame retardant PVC, LSZH,PE
Applications:
The main advantage of RG-11 is its lower attenuation. Signal strength diminishes over distance, and RG-11 loses less signal power per 100 feet/meters than RG-6. This makes it the preferred choice for:
Long Cable Runs: Ideal for installations where the distance from the signal source (e.g., satellite dish, antenna, or cable drop) to the receiver is very long, often over 150 feet (45 meters). It is frequently used as the main "trunk" or "feeder" line in a building.
High-Frequency Applications: Suitable for transmitting higher frequency signals, including modern satellite TV (DBS) and cable internet signals, with greater integrity over extended distances.
Professional Installations: Commonly used by professional installers in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where performance cannot be compromised.
