RG-178 is a miniature coaxial cable designed for applications requiring flexibility and compact size. It is particularly suited for environments where space is limited and high-frequency performance is necessary.

Specifications:

  1. Construction:
    • Center Conductor: Made from solid or stranded copper, typically with a diameter of around 0.8 mm (0.031 inches). Some versions may have a silver-plated conductor for improved conductivity.
    • Dielectric Insulation: Usually made from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or similar low-loss material, providing excellent dielectric properties and minimal signal attenuation.
    • Shielding: Typically includes a combination of a foil shield and a braided shield (often tinned copper). This dual shielding provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizes signal leakage.
    • Outer Jacket: Made from a flexible and durable material such as PVC or fluoropolymer, protecting the internal components and providing flexibility.
  2. Electrical Characteristics:
    • Impedance: 50 Ohms, which is standard for many RF and microwave applications.
    • Frequency Range: Suitable for frequencies up to approximately 6 GHz. Specific performance can vary depending on the exact cable version and manufacturer.
    • Attenuation: Typically low, with attenuation values around 27 dB per 100 feet at 1 GHz. This low attenuation helps in maintaining signal strength over the length of the cable.
    • Return Loss: Generally ≥ 20 dB, indicating good impedance matching and minimal signal reflection.
  3. Mechanical Characteristics:
    • Flexibility: Highly flexible, making it suitable for use in tight spaces and applications where movement is required.
    • Temperature Range: Typically operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +200°C, providing reliable performance across a broad range of environmental conditions.
  4. Physical Dimensions:
    • Diameter: The cable diameter is approximately 2.8 mm (0.110 inches).
    • Weight: Lightweight, making it easy to handle and install in compact spaces.

Applications:

  • RF Systems: Used for connecting RF components where space is limited and flexibility is needed.
  • Microwave Systems: Suitable for microwave applications due to its high-frequency performance and low loss.
  • Communication Equipment: Commonly used in communication systems, including antennas, transmitters, and receivers.
  • Test and Measurement: Used in test setups and laboratory environments where precise signal transmission is necessary.
  • Aerospace and Defense: Often employed in aerospace and defense applications where reliability and performance are critical.

Example Part Numbers:

  • Manufacturer: Various manufacturers produce RG-178 cables, including companies like Belden, Amphenol, and others.
  • Part Number Example: Belden 178 or similar. Always verify the exact part number and specifications with the supplier or manufacturer for detailed product information.

Visual Inspection and Installation:

  • Connector Compatibility: Ensure connectors are properly matched and securely attached to avoid performance issues.
  • Cable Handling: Handle with care to avoid damaging the cable, especially given its flexibility and compact size.
  • Shielding Integrity: Inspect the shielding to ensure it is intact and properly connected to prevent signal interference.
