The RG179 Coax Cable is 75 ohm coax cable used in a variety of applications including security systems where high temperature is required. With a temperature maximum of 200°C, RG 179 cable also features a small, flexible diameter and a TFE taped outer jacket because of the high-temperature rating. Click on the links below to learn more about the different features of RG-179 cable.
RG 179 coax cable applications include medical equipment, video security systems, audio security systems (where high-temperature performance is required) and computer applications.
M17/94-RG179 is the Mil-Spec equivalent to the commercial grade RG 179 cable. This mil-spec coax cable is used for high-frequency signal transmission and features a jacket FEP Type IX per MIL-C-17. In addition, 83264 Belden MIL-C-17G 75 Ohm Coax Cable meets M17/94-RG179 specs.
