Antenna Factory CATV Drop Cable & Trunk Cable ~ Antenna Systems & Solutions

Antenna Systems & Solutions is proud to offer Antenna Factory RG59, RG6, RG7, & RG11 series Drop Cable. The outer conductor (braiding type) for each series has double shield (standard shield), tri-shield and quad shield. The double shield is mainly used for CATV networks below 1000MHz and satellite ground receiving systems below 3000MHz. Tri-shield and quad shield are applied to HFC networks as drop cable.
