RG179 Coax Cable

What is RG179 Coax Cable?

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.
