Coaxial Audio & Specialist Cables
FAQs
Netceed supplies a wide range of coaxial and specialist AV cables designed for audio, video, security and communication applications:
- Coaxial cables for TV aerial feeds, satellite installations, CCTV systems and RF distribution.
- Audio cables including screened microphone cables, balanced/unbalanced audio cables, and instrument grade cables for sound systems.
- Speaker cables are twin-core or multi-core cables for home cinema, commercial sound reinforcement or distributed audio.
- Alarm & security cables are multi-core low voltage cables for alarms, sensors, access control and security systems.
- Belden equivalent cables are high performance AV/data cables designed to match widely used industry standard specifications for broadcast, professional audio and control systems.
These cable types support reliable signal transfer across domestic, commercial, and professional AV environments.
When selecting a cable, consider:
Signal Type:
- RF/TV: Coaxial
- Audio: Screened audio or XLR-grade cables
- Speakers: Twin-core speaker cable sized to match amplifier power
- Security: Multi-core alarm cables
Distance:
- Longer runs require thicker conductors or higher quality shielding to reduce signal loss.
Shielding Requirements:
- High interference areas benefit from double-shielded coax or fully screened audio cable.
Cable Flexibility:
- Installations in trunking or tight corners need flexible PVC or LSZH sheaths.
Compliance:
- Some building codes require LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) cable for safety.
Performance Needs:
- Professional AV or broadcast equipment may require Belden grade performance for impedance, shielding and bandwidth.
The right cable ensures optimal signal quality, reliability and compliance with installation standards.
These cables are used across a wide range of home and commercial applications, including:
- TV, Satellite & RF Distribution:
Coaxial cables run between aerials, satellite dishes, splitters and set-top boxes.
- Home Cinema & Hi-Fi Systems:
Speaker cable and audio interconnects power surround sound, amplifiers and subwoofers.
- Commercial Audio Installations:
Screened microphone cables and balanced audio cables connect mixers, amplifiers and PA speakers.
- CCTV, Security & Alarm Systems:
Alarm cables carry signals for sensors, detectors, keypads and control panels.
- Broadcast & Professional AV:
Belden equivalent cables support high bandwidth video, control, audio and data transmission.
These cables support stable, noise free signal delivery in environments ranging from homes to studios and large venues.
To ensure top performance and long-term reliability:
- Avoid tight bends, coax and audio cables lose performance if kinked.
- Keep audio and RF cables away from mains wiring to prevent interference.
- Use the correct connectors (F-type, RCA, XLR, banana, etc.) and ensure they are fitted securely.
- Maintain correct impedance for coaxial cables (typically 75Ω).
- Label cable runs to simplify future servicing or upgrades.
- Use LSZH cable in public buildings or where regulations require it.
- For speaker cables, match gauge to run length, longer runs may need thicker cable to avoid signal loss.
- Test cables before sealing walls or trunking to ensure clean signal quality.
Good installation practice is critical for noise free audio, clear video and dependable security signals.
