Application
Built up with a conductor, dielectric and then two braids in contact with one another, then finally an overall sheath. The addition of the second braid improves electrical
performance over a range of frequencies, offering a cleaner signal which makes them ideal for long cable runs.

Introduction
Habia Cable’s reputation as a manufacturer of market leading, high performance coaxial cables such as Flexiform and Multibend
has been built on a foundation of RG Style ‘Brown’ coaxial cables.
　

RG (LS0H)
These coaxial cables take the popular industry standard RG (PVC) type coaxials such as RG 58 and RG 59 and add a Low Smoke
Zero Halogen (LSZH or LS0H) sheath. This provides a completely halogen free cable ideal for use in sensitive areas where use of
materials such as PVC that exhibit corrosive and toxic fumes under fire-conditions are prohibited.
　

RG (PVC)
Using solid PE dielectrics and PVC sheaths for a low cost, general performance cable, these are the industry standard for coaxial
cables.
　

RG and SM
Using solid PTFE dielectrics and FEP sheaths in order to offer high temperature properties. These coaxials typically use nonmagnetic
conductors which are less susceptible to passive intermodulation as well as providing a more cost effective solution.
　

RG (M)
These coaxial cables are original, military grade ‘Brown’ coaxials. These RG types use solid PTFE dielectrics and FEP sheaths in
order to offer the highest possible electrical performance from a non-foamed coaxial. This is complemented by a wide temperature
range of -55oC to +200oC which enables both a wide range of applications that the coax can be used in, and also excellent power
ratings in relation to the size of the coax.
　

RGD
These coaxials are built up with a conductor, dielectric and then two braids in contact with one another, then finally an overall
sheath. The addition of the second braid improves electrical performance over a range of frequencies, offering a cleaner signal
which makes them ideal for long cable runs.
　

RGT and SMT
Triaxials are built up with a conductor, dielectric, braid and inner sheath, then a second braid and an outer sheath. In contrast to the
RGD types, as the second braid is separated from the first, it can be used as an electrical screen.
　

RGL and SML
Designed to be immune to the electrical interference caused by vibration and pressure, low noise cables have in integral carbon
layer between the dielectric and the screen which reduces the noise generated from within the cable by factor of over a thousand
when compared to standard coaxial cables.
In addition to the various options shown here, Habia Cable also manufactures the Speedflex range of coaxes. These are designed
to be dimensionally and electrically comparable with the standard RG and RG (M) types such as RG 179 and RG 316, but in
addition they are a completely Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) solution.
