Siamese ( or side by side- or Dual ) RG6 & RG59 Coax, or Coaxial, Cable, is a term denoting 2 or more wires within one within one outer jacket. Siamese cables are a great friend to the custom installer because now he only has to pull one cable, instead of two or three. We have placed some examples below:
Siamese or Dual RG6 & RG59 Cable:
Siamese CAT5 w/ 18/2 Power Cable and RG59 CCTV Coax Video Cable
Siamese CAT5 and RG6 Coax Video Cable
Siamese CAT5 and RG6 Coax Quad-Shield Video Cable
Coax, or coaxial, is the copper cable used between the community antenna and user homes and businesses. Coaxial Cable, the two most popular forms being RG6 and RG59 Video, was invented in 1929 and first used commercially in 1941. AT&T established its first cross-continental coaxial transmission system in 1940. Depending on the carrier technology used and other factors, twisted pair copper wire and optical fiber are alternatives to coax cable. RG6 Video or Satellite Cable is the model most often sold in Dual & Quad Shield.
It is called "coax" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded (after a layer of insulation) by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The outer channel of serves as a ground. Many pairs of coaxial tubes can be placed in a single outer sheathing and, with repeaters, can carry information for a great distance. Coaxial is predominantly used as video cable for TV / Satellite ( RG-6 ), HDTV, Home Theater, CCTV ( RG-59 ) and other home and commercial applications. It is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users. It is also widely installed for use in business and corporation Ethernet and other types of local area network.
Coaxial cable is an electrical wire consisting of an inner conductor or several uninsulated conductors tightly twisted together, often surrounded by an insulating spacer, surrounded by an outer cylindrical conducting shield (sheath), and usually surrounded by a final insulating layer (jacket). It is often used as a high-frequency transmission line to carry a high-frequency or broadband signal but may also be used for frequencies as low as audio frequency. The electromagnetic field carrying the signal exists (ideally) only in the space between the inner and outer conductors. The shielding reduces interference from external electromagnetic fields, although it does radiate energy, shielding does somewhat reduce the possibility of a transmitting device causing undesired interference through transmission line leakage.
