RG-58C cable is a type of high-frequency coaxial cable which offers improved shielding and lower signal loss compared to similar cables. As such, it is ideal for many military & civil radio frequency (RF) operations including cable television (CATV/MATV), telecommunications, WiFi/network antennas, laboratory benches, and ham/CB/other radio setups, as well as any other signal transfer applications in fields such as aerospace, scientific, and medical. Furthermore, this cable type is approved for direct burial. The cable consists of a stranded inner conductor composed of tinned copper wire, which is then surrounded by a polyethylene dielectric tube. Outside the dielectric is a shield, which is also made of tinned copper. Covering all of this is a black, non-contaminating PVC jacket for additional physical protection.
