Technical reference for cable buyers, written around the decisions that change a construction.
What semi-finished cable means and where it stops
A semi-finished core is everything up to but not including the outer jacket, and the handover point is the buyer's to choose.
RG6 versus RG59 versus RG11 for cable manufacturers
The three constructions differ in conductor size, dielectric diameter and loss per metre, which is what fixes the run length each can serve.
CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6a cores compared by the numbers
The categories differ in bandwidth, pair separation and crosstalk margin, and those differences are built into the core rather than the jacket.
CCA, CCS, CCAM and Al-Mg compared for braiding
Braiding wire choice trades cost against attenuation, corrosion resistance and what the destination market's standards will accept.
How to choose a cable shielding tape
Foil choice is set by the interference environment and the installation method, not by the headline coverage percentage.
Choosing a cable jacket compound by installation
Every market wants a different jacket, which is exactly why the compound is sold alongside the core rather than applied here.
Send us a construction and we will quote it
Tell us the construction, the volume and the point in the process where you want to take over. You will get a price against your specification rather than against a nearest equivalent.
