CATV Cable

Community Antenna Television (CATV) cables are constructed using Copper Covered Steel Center Conductors (CCS). CCS conductors give strength to CATV cables when installers pull on the coaxial cables. CATV cable uses a bonded foil shield with an aluminum braid to prevent high-frequency RF leakage, which can result in fines from the FCC. A CATV cable also shields against low level high frequencies. Syston Cable Technology’s series of broadband and digital coaxial cables are tested to the highest standards to ensure the best performance in high-end home theater installations, incorporating HDTV and digital video.

Article 820

Community Antenna Television and Video Surveillance Systems (Coaxial Cable)
The scope of this article covers coaxial cable distribution of radio frequency signals typically
employed in community antenna television (CATV) systems.

NEC Energy Limitations (NEC Section 820-2)

The Coaxial Cable shall be permitted to deliver low energy power to equipment directly associated with the radio
frequency distribution system if the voltage is not over 60 volts and if the current supply is from a transformer
or other device having energy- limiting characteristics

General Purpose Cable
Type CATVX, CATV, CATVR, CATVP (Cables may be dual rated) CATVX/CL2X/CMX, CATV/CL2/CM, CATVR/CL2R/CMR, CATVP/CL2P/CMP
