The WPFCA-01M from L-com is an industrial waterproof cable assembly used for 75 ohm video transmission. The WPFCA-01M is a 1 meter cable assembly built from RG6 cable and male F-type connectors with IP68 rated cable glands on each end. The WPFCA family of cables are meant to be used with the WPFCA adapter for waterproof and dustproof connections. These cables are perfect for industrial situations and outdoor applications where moisture and debris can impede signal transmission. The cable comes with dust caps for protection when not in use. Urgency is in our DNA and all cables are in stock and ready to ship today.
A: The 'RG' is short for 'Radio Guide ' a term that dates back to the World War II era when the military made heavy use of coaxial cable and developed a set of standards to specify different grades of coax and their applications. Even though we still refer to coaxial cables by their original RG numbers today these standards are now obsolete in regard to actual military use.
Q: What is the difference between RG59 RG6 and RG11?
A: Each of these coaxial cables has a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms. RG59 cable has a smaller diameter center conductor than RG6 resulting in higher signal loss. RG59 cables are typically specified for use as equipment patch cords because of their smaller bend radius and enhanced flexibility. Since RG6 cables exhibit less attenuation than RG59 they are more commonly used for distributed cabling and are recommended for use up to 295 ft. RG11 cables support even less signal loss than RG6 or RG59 because the center conductor diameter is almost twice that of RG59. RG11 cables are recommended for lengths up to 400ft.
