RG Coaxial Cable Jacket Types & Operating Temperature Ranges
RG350 Cable - RG404 Cable
TYPE I (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Black Polyvinylchloride
Characteristics: Excellent weathering and abrasion properties, However, it is of the contaminating type and will cause cable attenuation to increase with age. Can be used for direct burial.
Temperature Range: -40°C to +80°C
TYPE II (JAN-C-17A) Coaxial Cable
Description: Grey Polyvinylchloride
Characteristics: A semi-contaminating jacket.
Temperature Range: -25°C to + 8°C.
TYPE IIA (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Grey or Black Polyvinylchloride.
Characteristics: Noncontaminating. Good weathering and abrasion resistant properties. Can be used for direct burial.
Temperature Range: Under .25 OD, -55°C to +90°C. Over .25 OD, -40°C to +90°C.
TYPE IIIA (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Black Polyethylene.
Characteristics: Moisture resistant, abrasion resistant, defies ultra violet damage. Noncontaminating; recommended for direct burial.
Temperature Range: -55°C to +85°C.
TYPE IV (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Black Synthetic Rubber.
Characteristics: This jacket material is used only on high voltage pulse cables. The basic material is polymerized chloroprene.
Temperature Range: Under .60 OD, -55°C to + 80°C. Over .50 OD, -40°C to +80°C.
TYPE V (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: A Fiberglass Braid.
Characteristics: Impregnated with silicone varnish to provide abrasion resistance and a moisture seal.
Temperature Range: -55°C to +175°C.
TYPE VI (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Silicone Rubber Dacron Braid.
Characteristics: Two wraps of silicone rubber impregnated fiber glass tape which is fused into a homogeneous layer. A dacron braid is applied, followed by a high temperature fluorocarbon lacquer.
Temperature Range: -55°C to + 175°C.
TYPE VII (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: PTFE (Polytetra-floudethyene)
Characteristics: Either extruded or tape wrap. Withstands high temperatures; chemically inert; insoluble in liquids and gases.
Temperature Range: -55°C to +200°C.
TYPE VIII (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: Synthetic Rubber.
Characteristics: This material is a polychloroprene compound and is used with only a few pulse cables. Its primary use is jacket material for multiconductor cables.
Temperature Range: -55°C to + 75°C.
TYPE IX (MIL-C-17) Coaxial Cable
Description: PTFE (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene).
Characteristics: Excellent weathering properties and chemically inert.
Temperature Range: -55°C to +200°C.
