1. Structure of RG174 Cable
RG174 is a commonly used RF coaxial cable, known for its flexibility and small diameter. Its typical structure includes:
Conductor: Tinned copper wire (approx. 0.48mm diameter)
Insulation: Polyethylene (PE) or foamed PE
Shielding: Tinned copper braid or aluminum foil + braid
Jacket: PVC or lowsmoke halogenfree material
Overall Diameter: Approx. 2.5mm
This construction provides excellent signal transmission and EMI resistance.
2. Applications of RG174 Cable
RG174 is widely used in:
Antenna connections (e.g., GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth devices)
Surveillance and security systems
Test instruments and communication devices
Automotive electronics and harnesses
RF signal transmission
Its small size and flexibility make it ideal for compact electronic devices and tight installation spaces.
3. Recommended Machine: WG8023C Precision Coaxial Wire Stripping Machine
For the fine, multilayer structure of RG174 cables, the WG8023C Fully Automatic Coaxial Wire Stripping Machine from Yinggang Technology is highly recommended.
