RG316 is one of the most popular RG cables.
This cable has a good flexibility and a better
attenuation than RG174.
Usable in severe thermal conditions, this cable
is compatible with a large range of connector
series.

Designed by RADIALL, ECO316 is an
advantageous alternative solution to RG316:
• Advantageous in term of electrical
performance:
its optimized construction allows
better attenuation and screening effectiveness
than RG316 and RG 174.
• Advantageous in term of environmental
aspect:
halogen and sulphur free, this
cable does not emit any toxic substance
when submitted to fire. The flame retardant
jacket allows ECO316 to meet fire resistance
standards.
• Advantageous in term of price:
ECO316 design
has integrated all RADIALL knowledge to reach
the best performances with a very competitive
price.
ECO316 is UL style 1375 approved.
This cable is compatible with a large range
of connector series.
ECO-Friendly cable
Cost effective solution
