CCS in communication cables: evaluate finished-cable results

Original publication: · Reviewed:

Signal-cable performance depends on frequency, geometry, dielectric and the complete conductor structure. Request finished-cable loss and impedance evidence under the intended conditions instead of relying on a material name.

Review the application

A conductivity class alone does not establish attenuation, impedance, return loss or suitability for every frequency range. Where the cable also carries DC power, state that requirement separately.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on the center-conductor specification and the intended cable construction.

Evaluate trial wire through the actual processing and termination sequence.

Validate the finished cable against its specified electrical and mechanical requirements.
