Communication & Control Cable, Multi-Conductor
Index	
Multi-Conductor,
Unshielded	
Multi-Conductor,
Unshielded (CSA)	

The multi-conductor array of
communication and control
cable facilitates cable pull-ins
and single-site installations.
This cable is typically used for
industrial equipment control,
electric valve actuation and
remote signaling, as well as
communications and broadcast
applications. These designs
are available in a wide variety
of insulation and jacketing
materials, as well as shield
designs to alleviate unwanted
circuit noise.
General Cable’s Carol® Brand
products are manufactured
to meet the latest UL, CSA
and NEC requirements and
approvals.
A Design To Meet Every
Application
PVC/PVC designs employ
polyvinyl chloride insulations
and jackets capable of meeting
everyday, general purpose
applications.
PE or PP/PVC designs employ
high quality polyethylene or
polypropylene insulations to
assure faithful reproduction
of transmitted signals across
interconnection circuits.

Foamed PP/PVC designs
use high speed, foamed
polypropylene insulations for
long-distance critical circuits,
which would not perform if
higher loss insulations were
employed.
FEP/FEP designs employ
fluoropolymer 200°C-rated
materials. They are
recommended for use in
applications where high
temperature, plenum rating,
electrical and mechanical safety
and chemical resistance are
essential.

Communication & Control Cable, Multi-Paired

In many electronic applications,
two wires are required to
complete circuits; these are
often referred to as “balanced
arrays” or “twisted pair”
constructions.
Paired cable designs find
frequent application in
circuits requiring circuit-tocircuit isolation from noise,
minimization of capacitance
imbalances and a reduction of
EMI interference currents.

Circuit separation is further
enhanced in those designs
employing individual circuit
shields in concert with an
overall shield. These shielding
systems are available from
General Cable in myriad
combinations to suit the unique
needs of the circuit designer.
As with the multi-conductor
designs, a wide array of
insulating and jacketing
materials are available to meet
specific electronic applications.
General Cable’s Carol® Brand
communication cable products
are manufactured to meet
the latest UL, CSA and NEC
requirements and approvals.

Coaxial Cable

To meet the needs of today’s
sophisticated, high-speed, wide
bandwidth electronics over long
distances, with minimum signal
loss or degradation, General
Cable Carol® Brand offers a wide
range of coaxial and twinaxial
designs in both unbalanced
arrays and precision-balanced
pairs. This offers the system
designer a wide choice of costeffective products that reflect
the most recent changes in the
standards set by UL, CSA and/
or the FCC.
Included in this section are
recommended Carol® Brand
coaxial products for the
CATV market. However, these
constructions may differ in
certain parts of the country.
Unlike other products in the
electronic market, coaxial cable
does not have one accepted
standard construction.

85

5

General Cable recommends,
in order to avoid installing an
unacceptable coaxial cable for
the CATV application in your
area, the local CATV company
should be consulted.

Coaxial Cable
Solutions Guide
General Cable offers a complete line of Carol® Brand Coaxial Cables for
today’s sophisticated high-speed, wide-bandwidth electronics products
that run over long distances with minimal signal loss or degradation.
General Cable has the right coaxial cable to serve every application,
including:
• CATV/MATV/DBS
• HDTV/SDI
• CCTV
The General Cable Coaxial Cable Solutions Guide is a quick-reference
tool to make it easier to specify and sell the right cable for the required
application–residential, commercial, entertainment and security.
Whatever the application calls for, we have a coaxial cable that delivers
the performance your customers need.

CATV/MATV/DBS

Broadband signal, 5MHz–3GHz, VHF/UHF, is traditionally transmitted as an analog signal received directly off air (MATV) or delivered as a community
access television (CATV) service and uses a 75 Ohm system.
Recommended Coaxial Cable Construction: Copper clad steel (CCS) conductor with a foam polyethylene or Teflon* core, an aluminum/Mylar*
foil, a minimum of 60% braid, which is typically aluminum (AL) for this application, and a PVC jacket.
For home use, a CM rated coax should be used. A commercial application may require a National Electrical Code (NEC 800 or 725) Riser (CMR) or
Plenum (CMP) rated cable. Economical cable solutions use low smoke PVC (75˚C) jackets. Teflon* (FEP) and other fluoropolymer materials (150˚C)
may be used to provide a more durable and higher-temperature cable alternative.
It is a common misconception that RG 6 coax is “better” than RG 59. While RG 6 has become the industry standard and is an excellent value, it is
a larger cable than RG 59. RG 6 allows the same signal level to be delivered a greater distance. This is expressed as a decibel value at particular
frequencies. For example, at 100 MHz, General Cable’s Carol® Brand part number C5775 RG 6 coax cable has an attenuation value of 2.05 db/100'.
A similar construction Carol® Brand part number C5782 RG 59 coax cable exhibits an attenuation value (loss) at 100 MHz frequency of 2.70db/100'.
This may or may not be significant, depending on the input signal level and distance of the cable run.
For a longer cable run, or if the coax cable is planned for use as the backbone in a system, Carol® Brand part number C5039 RG 11 coax cable should
be used, because its attenuation at 100 MHz frequency is 1.30 db/100'.

HDTV/SDI

A DTV signal is a television signal provided in a digital form. Data bits, like in a computer, provide a dramatically better picture and better sound
quality called High Definition TV (HDTV). HDTV is the highest quality of DTV and is only one of the available formats. In addition to enhanced picture
quality, the DTV signal allows several program streams (multicasting) on one channel, providing more program potential, as well as interactive
services.
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is the standard for digital video transmission over coaxial cable. The SMPTE 295M standard provides maximum distances
(300 meters; 140 meters for High Definition), typically at 270 Mbps with 540 Mbps possible over a coaxial cable.
Recommended Coax Cable Construction: Cable providing signal to and within the home/building will continue to be CCS construction (C5775,
C5785). Cables with SBC conductors (395011, 495025) are recommended for the interconnect between the decoder box and other electronic devices
(TV, DVD, DVR, CD, Bluray).

Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) signals are typically lower-frequency analog signals. Attenuation increases as frequency increases, therefore lower
baseband signals are able to travel longer distances on an RG 59 type coaxial cable than a higher-frequency television signal. This is why RG 59 is
the most common coax for CCTV. It is becoming more common for Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) products, like Category 5e and 6 cables, to be used
for Closed Circuit over Twisted Pair (CCTP) or Web-enabled cameras implemented over a Power over Ethernet network architecture; however, these
solutions require the use of specialized equipment.
Recommended Coax Cable Construction: Solid bare copper (SBC) conductor and a bare copper (BC) braid shield with coverage of 90-95% to
minimize signal loss of both the horizontal and vertical sync signals. Stranded conductors are recommended for pan, zoom, tilt (PZT) cameras.

Alarm and Security
Solutions Guide	

Fire alarm systems have
expanded from a rather simple
and unsophisticated business
configured upon large, electromechanical devices to one
relying upon the most modern
technologies of microprocessor
and chip technology.
More and more end users—
industrial, commercial as well
as consumer—are relying upon
these emerging systems to
protect both property and life.
These systems are only as good
as their weakest component,
whether that component be a
processor or interconnecting
wire and cable.
It is General Cable’s charter that
all products supplied for use in
these and any other systems
shall be constructed of only
the finest available materials,
and provide the service and
assurance that the end user not
only needs, but requires.

113

Aside from the quality materials
used in these designs,
specifiers and end users of
Carol® Brand wire and cable
products have come to expect
that these cables are registered
and certified with the leading
regulatory agencies such as
Underwriters Laboratories …
and we haven’t let you down!
These designs have proven
themselves in the area of fire
system security over time;
all are fabricated with solid,
bare copper conductors and
insulations and jackets of
premium-grade PVC. Offered
both with and without shields,
the former to protect these
critical circuits from noise, these
cables will provide the latest
in available technology for the
system installer and contractor.
General Cable Carol® Brand
products are conveniently
packaged in 1000' or 500'
Iengths to assist the installer.

begun some 45 years ago,
to one which has developed
technology to the degree that
specialized wires and cables are
now much in demand.
No longer are the security and
sound industries characterized
by large electromechanical
relays and large contactors;
today these circuits incorporate
the latest in microprocessors
and solid state devices to not
only improve functionality but
also to guarantee performance.

Carol Brand Composite
Access Control Cable
®

General Cable’s Carol® Brand Composite
Access Control Cable is manufactured for
use in Building Access & Control. The cable is
designed to allow for a single cable run that
incorporates the four components required
for card readers, door contacts, locking power
and retinal scanners in commercial buildings,
distribution centers, manufacturing facilities
and government buildings.
The cables are installer friendly, as they save
time and money on installation. With multiple
cables under one jacket, time is saved in
preparation and setup, pulling and termination.
The convenience of these cables at installation
makes them a popular choice for multiple
Access Control applications.
When your job requires Access Control cable,
think of Carol® Brand cables first. Remember, you
can always Demand Better...Expect More™
with General Cable Carol® Brand Electronic
Cables. We manufacture over 1,300 standard
electronic cables that we can ship direct from
stock, and we have the technical staff and design
expertise to meet any custom cable requirement.

General Cable offers a variety
of Carol® Brand wire and cable
for audio/video and direct
burial applications. From field
production cable to microphone,
snake, guitar and speaker
cable, General Cable supports
the increasingly demanding
entertainment industry.
For extreme hard service,
General Cable’s rubber
microphone cables offer the
ultimate in performance and
service life. The rubber designs
are highly flexible and designed
to lie flat on studio floors, as
well as provide high impact and
abrasion resistance.
For outdoor and cold weather
applications, microphone cable
jacketed with Carolprene®
provides the ultimate protection
against ozone, oil and ultraviolet
radiation.

These technically sophisticated
cables are required to contain
sources of interference and
to protect against difficulties
where they are unavoidable. In
addition to providing the needed
electrical characteristics, the
cables are properly designed to
handle demanding conditions,
such as microphone hum,
handling noise, crosstalk,
electrostatic hum, SCR noise
and common ground noise—
either on stage, in a studio or at
a remote venue.

Home Entertainment Cables

Carol® Brand Command® Series Speaker Cables offer
outstanding performance at an affordable price. The
cables are highly flexible and available in a wide variety
of options for in-wall use for home theaters as well as
high definition applications. Whether your choice of speaker
cable is constructed with Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) or the more
universally accepted Tough Pitch Copper (ETP), your speaker
system will perform as designed and to your expectations.
•	 OFC copper is defined as 99.95% pure. The refining process
	 provides reduced oxygen content and other impurities.
•	 High Conductive Electrolytic Tough Pitch Copper is the most
	 widely used refined copper within the electronic cable industry.
	 It is defined as 99.9%-99.94% oxygen-free and provides the 	
	 same level of conductivity as OFC.
There are a number of considerations to be made when
choosing the proper speaker cable:

•	 Choose the proper AWG size for your system design (Speaker
	 Impedance, 4 or 8 ohm) and acceptable loss for the required
	 cable distance.
•	 Choose an acceptable stranding that will provide both ease of
	 installation and flexibility.
•	 Choose a cable that is appropriate to the installation relative to
	 any building standards or codes.
	 	
1.	UL/CSA
		
2.	NEC Riser, Plenum
•	 Select individual jacket colors as necessary to contribute to
	 room or circuit identification.
•	 Most importantly, choose the cable that you feel comfortable
	 with. If you are convinced that OFC provides a benefit that you
	 can hear, select our OFC product. If you choose our speaker
	 cables that utilize our high-conductive ETP, you will have
	 selected a cable with the same resistance for equal cable run
	 distances. The cable resistance is the primary selection criteria.

Delivering the renewable power of

Wind Energy
Wind knows no boundaries,
and neither does General Cable.

Answering the Call
Wind. It’s plentiful, renewable, and clean. That’s why wind
power has increased more than fivefold since the beginning
of the 21st century, taking center stage as the fastest growing
alternative energy source in the global arena. With increased
energy demand and mounting political pressure, alternative
energy mandates are cropping up all over the world,
with many countries calling for significant growth in wind
generation capacity over the next decade. General Cable
has the experience, the innovation, and the global presence
to answer that call.
Since the first modern wind turbine was developed in the
1980s, General Cable has been committed to delivering the
renewable power of wind energy through ground-breaking

POWER RATING

Applications:
	 • Ideally suited for low-voltage primary
and secondary power distribution
in electronic and data processing
equipment. High-speed, solid-state
circuits require relatively high currents
with low voltage. For this reason, it is
essential that DC power distribution lines
have low inductance, low resistance
and high capacitance. More important,
tightly bundled or laminated flat cable
source-and-return circuits deliver lower
impedance and higher capacitance
by one to two orders of magnitude,
compared to round wire circuits with
equal resistance.
	 • This system can serve as a low-cost
flexible alternative to laminated bus
bars. The Fluorobus low-profile routing
capability is a useful packaging feature,
and its large surface area (relative
to round wire conductor of equal
resistance) provides improved heat
dissipation, minimizes voltage drop and
results in a higher current rating.
	 • This flat conductor circuit delivers
superior EMI/RFI performance, both
as a source and as a receiver.

Glossary
Abrasion Resistance: Resistance to surface
wear.
AC Alternating Current (a.c.): Current in which
the charge-flow periodically reverses and is
represented by: I = l8cos (2‑f +‑f) where, I is the
current, l8 is the amplitude, f the frequency, f the
phase angle.
Accelerated Aging: A test that attempts to
duplicate long-time environmental aging in
comparatively short time spans.
Accelerator: A chemical additive which hastens a
chemical reaction under specific conditions.
Accordion: (1) A retractile cable with a series of
equally-spaced transverse folds. (2) A connector contact with a “Z” shaped flat spring to
permit high deflection without overstress.
Adapter: A device that enables any or all of
the following 1) different sizes or types of
plugs to mate with one another or to fit into a
telecommunications outlet/connector; 2) the
