RG59 B/U

APPLICATION

RG59 B/U Airprot 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
