Continuous-Flex Coaxial Cords
Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. Use them to transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss. They’re RG-58/U or RG-59/U, so they’re good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. All have BNC plugs that attach with a quarter turn.

Outlet Strips
Provide power to multiple devices with these outlet strips. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits.
Telephone connections connect to a land line. Coaxial connections connect to F-type coaxial cords for video.
90° elbow plugs fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
The face of 360° outlets rotate a full circle.
Surge suppression outlet strips protect against damage from voltage spikes. Surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced; the higher the number, the better the protection.
Outlet strips with an audible alarm alert you when the strip is damaged and needs replacement.

Coaxial Cable
- Use For: Audio, Data, Interference Shielding, Video
- Flexible, except RG-213/U is Bend and Stay
- Max. Temperature: See table
- Insulation: PVC Plastic, except RG-316/U is FEP Plastic
Often used in radio transmission, network connections, and digital audio feed, this cable transmits audio, video, and data signals.
RG-58/U and RG-59/U cable are good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. RG-62A/U cable is often used in computer networks and electronics.
RG-174/U cable has a small diameter, so it’s easy to coil. RG-213/U cable has the largest diameter, so it's thicker and more robust than other coaxial cable. It is used in high frequency transmissions such as ground communications. RG-316/U cable has the smallest diameter, so it is extremely flexible for routing in tight spaces. Its FEP plastic insulation withstands high temperatures. It is often used in military equipment.
RG-6/U cable is good for medium to high frequency transmissions and is often used in satellite signal transmission.
Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors. Quad shielded cable has two layers of braid and two layers of foil for the most protection against signal interference and the clearest signal.
