Features and Applications
The RG-59/U 95% CMR cable is rated for in-wall riser installations, meaning it meets the fire safety requirements necessary for routing cable vertically between floors in commercial and residential buildings — without the need for conduit in most code-compliant scenarios. Its 75-ohm impedance and Foam PE insulation ensure low signal loss across a broad frequency range extending to 2,200 MHz, providing headroom for modern video distribution systems.
The 95% braid shield coverage suppresses electromagnetic interference, protecting signal quality even in environments with high levels of electrical noise. Carrying ETL listing from Intertek and certified to SCTE IPS-SP-001, UL 1655, and UL13 standards, this cable is built to meet the certification requirements that commercial integrators and inspectors commonly demand. The PVC outer jacket provides durable physical protection against abrasion and standard environmental conditions within the rated temperature range of -20 to 60°C.
Typical Uses
This cable is well suited for closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera installations, analog video signal distribution, and security system wiring within buildings. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes it appropriate for in-wall and between-floor routing in riser pathways where fire-rated cabling is required by code. The 1000ft pullbox packaging is designed for efficient feed-through during longer cable runs on job sites, reducing handling time and minimizing waste.
Construction
At the core, a solid bare copper conductor provides reliable conductivity and low DC resistance of 28.6 ohms per 1000 feet. Surrounding the conductor, Foam PE (polyethylene) insulation maintains a stable dielectric, contributing to the cable's 84% velocity of propagation and consistent 15.5 pF/ft capacitance. A foil layer sits beneath the 95% C.C.A. (Copper Clad Aluminum) braid shield, together forming a two-layer shield system that keeps interference out and signal in. The PVC jacket finishes the assembly, offering practical durability for installation environments.
Additional Information
This cable is RoHS compliant, confirming that it is manufactured without the restricted hazardous substances covered by the European Union's RoHS Directive — a relevant consideration for projects with environmental compliance requirements. The cable is marked: *RG59/U 20AWG CMR FT4 XXXXXX VERIFIED TO C(ETL)US ***FT, providing clear in-field identification of type, rating, and certification status. Available in Black (RG59RBK4) and White (RG59RWH4) jacket colors to match installation environment requirements.
