The RG179 is a 75Ω miniature coaxial cable engineered for applications where low capacitance, stable signal integrity, and compact size are essential. With a jacket diameter of only 2.54 mm and a weight of just 15 g/m, it brings true 75Ω performance to spaces where standard cables cannot fit. Its solid PTFE dielectric delivers higher voltage withstand and long-term stability, while the FEP jacket provides excellent chemical resistance and a low-friction surface. The stranded silver-plated copper clad steel inner conductor combines high tensile strength with low high-frequency loss, making the RG179 ideal for both fixed and semi-flexible installations. Whether you are routing video inside a medical endoscope, feeding a 75Ω SDR receiver, or connecting a broadcast test instrument, the RG179 delivers reliable performance from 0.1 GHz to 3 GHz in temperatures up to 200°C.
