Five Conductor RG6 Super High Resolution Cable

FeatuRes

•

Five 18 AWG, 75 ohm coaxial conductors

five, 18 AWG, 75 ohm coaxial conductors double-shielded with foil and tinned copper
serve to reduce interference.

•

Superior performance cable for demanding analog video and digital SDI/HDSDI

applications

—

This super high resolution cable offers the best available video
performance, and transmits the highest-resolution signals with the lowest losses
making it ideal for critical applications and longest cable runs, including high scan
rate analog, and demanding digital SDI/HD-SDI applications.

•

NEC CM non-plenum rating

—

Extron RG6-5 High Resolution cable is available with a

NEC CM non-plenum SuperFlex jacket.

•

SuperFlex jacket with sequential numbering

cable features the smooth SuperFlex jacket with sequential numbering that enables
quick calculation of the cable used and remaining on the spool.

The Extron RG6-5 Five Conductor RG6 Super High Resolution Cable offers the best available
video performance. RG6 Series cables are able to handle the highest-resolution signals with the
lowest losses and are ideal for the most critical applications and longest cable runs, including
high scan rate analog and demanding digital SDI/HD-SDI applications. Signal loss, seen as an
image's loss of brightness and sharpness or data errors in digital systems, can be experienced
when cable runs travel over long distances. Signals that run at higher frequencies are especially
vulnerable to signal loss over long distance cable runs. The RG6-5 Cable is perfect for lengthy
cable runs because it carries ultra high resolution workstation graphics as well as low resolution
video with minimal signal loss ensuring the best transmission of video signals.

RG6-5 Cable is available in a non-plenum version with five conductors for signal distribution
of composite video up to RGBHV. Each conductor is an 18 AWG, 75 ohm, color-coded
coaxial conductor.
