BELDEN 1694SB, 18 AWG PRECISION VIDEO COAXIAL CABLE (SHIPBOARD)

BELDEN 1694SB is a high-performance, precision 75-ohm coaxial cable engineered specifically for the harsh demands of maritime and offshore environments. Based on the industry-standard 1694A architecture, this "Shipboard" (SB) version features a specialized, low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket that is highly flame-retardant and corrosion-resistant, making it the ideal choice for mission-critical video infrastructure on vessels and offshore platforms.

Product Description

This cable is built to maintain signal integrity in environments prone to high humidity, salt spray, and extreme fire-safety requirements:

Precision Conductor: It utilizes an 18 AWG solid bare copper center conductor. This construction is optimized for high-bandwidth applications, supporting standard definition (SD), high definition (HD), and 3G-SDI video signals over long distances with minimal return loss.

Superior Dielectric: The conductor is encased in Gas-Injected Foamed HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), which ensures a precise 75-ohm impedance and reduces attenuation, allowing for high-frequency signal transmission required for modern digital video.

Advanced Shielding: To combat maritime interference, the cable features a Duofoil® + 95% Tinned Copper Braid dual-shield design. This provides near-total protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is vital on ships where wireless and radar systems can cause signal noise.

Maritime Safety: The most distinguishing feature of the 1694SB is its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. It is designed to minimize toxic fumes and smoke density in the event of a fire, adhering to stringent marine safety standards for enclosed vessel spaces where air quality during an emergency is critical.
