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.
Rubber/Rubber is typically
employed in installations
characterized as severely hostile
environments, where these
designs provide unsurpassed
service life.
Rubber/Carolprene® offers
the ultimate performance for
applications that demand the
greatest protection from the
environment, including physical
abuse. The specially formulated
Carolprene® jacket has been
proven time and again to
withstand all types of abuse,
both mechanical and chemical.

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-to-
circuit 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.

Twinaxial Cables 112
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 cost-
effective 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.
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.
General Cable’s Carol® Brand
product mix encompasses
standard RG/U-type coaxial
constructions in the more
popular 50, 75 and 93 ohm
designs and miniature coaxial
products for smaller high-speed
applications.
The twinaxial products meet or
exceed the stringent demands
of today’s precision- balanced
pair systems. The minimization
of capacitance unbalance is a
necessary requirement for long
distance data transmission.

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.
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 Teon* 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 Denition 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 Denition), 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).

CCTV
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.

Fire alarm systems have
expanded from a rather simple
and unsophisticated business
configured upon large, electro-
mechanical 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.
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.

The sound and security
industry in the United States
has grown from a simple and
unsophisticated business,
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.
As a major wire producer, our
role is to ensure that the wires
and cables that go into these
systems are as reliable as
the other components the
net result is a fully integrated
system which will provide peace
of mind to the system user.
Also in this section are General
Cable’s Carol® Brand wire and
cable designs suitable for a
variety of applications, both
in industrial and commercial
environments, including
telephone systems, intercoms,
burglar alarms, business
machines and thermostats.
Aside from the quality materials
used in these designs,
specifiers and 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!
Carol® Brand designs have
proven themselves in the area
of sound and security over
time; most are fabricated with
solid or stranded, bare copper
conductors with insulations
and jackets of premium grades
of PVC. We offer both parallel
and cabled designs both with
and without shields. Sequential
footage markings on the jackets
are offered on all products.
General Cable Carol® Brand
products are conveniently
packaged in 1000' or 500'
Iengths to assist the installer.

General Cables 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.

Delivering the renewable power of
Wind Energy
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
wire and cable technologies. General Cable has developed
cables that are flexible yet tough enough to withstand the
continuous motion of today’s wind turbines. Our commitment
to providing the highest quality and reliable products lowers
cost and extends turbine operating life by reducing failures
and maintaining continuous power.
Knowing No Boundaries
Wind knows no boundaries, and neither does General Cable.
From Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S. to Germany, Spain, China,
India, and Australia, initiatives are in place to increase
wind power, with targets to support a significantly higher
percentage of energy needs.
With a solid presence in North America, South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania, General
Cable has the geographical presence to focus on region-
specific wind power needs and to meet domestic and
global specifications. At the same time, General Cable’s
One Company approach means we have a keen ability
to unite and leverage our broad knowledge and shared
resources to bring innovative solutions to the entire world.
Setting the Benchmark
Whether it is terrestrial wind farms requiring direct buried
cables or offshore wind farms requiring high-performance
submarine cables, General Cable has one of the most diverse
and expansive ranges of products to meet virtually every
application in the wind power industry. From fiber optic and
bare overhead conductors to underground URD and low-
voltage power, control, and electronic cables, General Cable
offers the full array of cables needed for wind turbines to
generate, distribute, and transmit energy.
As the benchmark in the wire and cable industry, renowned
for our engineering and material development capabilities,
General Cable is positioned to rapidly respond to the needs
of the evolving wind farm market with next-generation
cabling systems.

Electronics Specialty Cable
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.

Technical Information 10
As technology becomes more
complex, specifying wire
and cable products to meet
system performance demands
becomes more time-consuming
and complex.
Today’s system designer must
be aware not only of the general
transmission line types, but
also of the myriad of materials
available to meet specific
environmental or electrical
performance criteria.
This technical section is
presented to aid in the selection
of materials and designs which
will best suit the combination
of hardware and transmission
media.
For technical questions
regarding specific transmission
designs or applications, please
contact General Cable’s
Engineering Department.
