Pro-Logic Technologies stocks a comprehensive range of coaxial RF cables and fittings to keep your signal strong and your reception clear.
What is a Coaxial RF Cable?
A coaxial cable (commonly shortened to “coax”) is a specialised electrical cable designed to transmit radio frequency signals with minimal loss. It consists of a central conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, a metallic shielding braid or foil, and an outer protective jacket. The coaxial design provides excellent shielding against electromagnetic interference, which is critical for maintaining clean signal transmission over long distances.
The “RF” designation stands for Radio Frequency — indicating that these cables carry broadcast signals including analogue and digital TV, satellite television, FM and AM radio, and internet signals from cable providers.
Common Applications in Kenya
In Kenyan homes, coaxial cables are most commonly used to connect rooftop terrestrial antennas to television sets for free-to-air digital TV reception. They are also central to DSTV and other satellite dish installations, running from the LNB (low-noise block) on the dish to the decoder inside the home.
For multi-room TV distribution systems, coaxial cables distribute a signal from a central antenna or satellite source to multiple television points throughout a building. Security camera systems using analogue CCTV technology also rely on coaxial cabling for video signal transmission.
Choosing the Right Coaxial Cable
The most widely used standard for consumer TV applications is RG6 coaxial cable, which offers a good balance of signal loss performance, flexibility, and cost. For longer runs or professional installations, RG11 provides lower signal attenuation.
At Pro-Logic Technologies, we stock coaxial cables in cut-to-requirement lengths, along with F-type connectors, splitters, and amplifiers to complete any installation.
