RG 11 Coaxial Cable ( PER METER )

The RG-11 Coaxial Cable is a high-performance, low-loss 75-Ohm cable primarily used for long-distance signal transmission in television and broadband systems. It is the thickest of the common residential-grade coax cables (RG-6 and RG-59), offering superior signal integrity over extended runs.

Construction and Mechanical Specifications

Component	Material (Typical)	Diameter (Nominal)	Notes
Inner Conductor	Solid Copper Clad Steel (CCS)	$1.63 mm$ ( $0.064 in$ )	14 AWG size.
Dielectric Diameter	Foamed Polyethylene (PE)	$7.1 mm$ ( $0.280 in$ )
Shield Type	Dual or Quad Shield	–	Typically $100%$ Aluminum Foil + $\geq 60%$ Aluminum Braid.
Outer Jacket	PVC, PE, or LSHF	$10.3 mm$ ( $0.405 in$ )	PVC for general use; PE for direct burial; LSHF for indoor fire safety.
Nominal Outer Diameter	–	$10.3 mm$ ( $0.405 in$ )
Weight	$64 - 76$	$lbs /1000 ft$
Operating Temperature	$- 4 0^{\circ} C$ to $+ 8 0^{\circ} C$	$^{\circ} C$	Range varies by jacket material (PVC, PE, etc.).
Minimum Bend Radius (Unloaded)	$103 mm$ ( $4.05 in$ )	–	RG-11 is stiff and not suitable for tight bends.

Technical Specification

Key Features and Specifications.

Specification	Description	Primary Benefit
Impedance	75 Ohm	Standard for video/radio frequency (RF) signals like CATV, HDTV, and satellite.
Center Conductor	14 AWG (American Wire Gauge)	Significantly thicker than RG-6 (18 AWG). A larger conductor size directly leads to lower signal loss per unit length.
Attenuation (Signal Loss)	Very Low	The main advantage. RG-11 can maintain signal integrity over runs that can be 500 to 1,500 feet (150 to 450 meters), depending on the frequency and manufacturer.
Outer Diameter (O.D.)	Large (approx. 0.40 inches / 10.2 mm)	This thickness makes the cable less flexible and harder to bend than RG-6, requiring a larger minimum bend radius and making it unsuitable for tight, indoor routing.
Shielding	Dual or Quad Shield	Features multiple layers (aluminum foil and braided wire) to provide superior protection against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which is crucial for long outdoor runs.
Applications	Long-distance, backbone, and outdoor runs	Ideal for connecting buildings, running from a street utility pole to a home, or distributing signals across large commercial properties.
