Belden Inc. 8255 0101000 RG-62B/U Coaxial Cable 93 Ohm

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 8255 0101000 is a 93-ohm RG-62B/U coaxial cable sold in a 1000-foot spool. Coaxial cable of this type carries radio frequency and data signals through a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric core and outer shielding braid, all enclosed in a protective outer jacket. RG-62B/U is the specification designation that defines the 93-ohm impedance characteristic. This impedance rating distinguishes it from the more common 50-ohm and 75-ohm coax types. It is handled and terminated by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and communications cabling installers.

RG-62B/U coaxial cable at 93 ohms is commonly associated with legacy instrumentation systems, control networks, and data communication runs where this specific impedance is required by the equipment manufacturer. It is used in commercial and industrial settings, including building automation, process control wiring, and older ARCNET-based network infrastructure. The 1000-foot spool length makes it suitable for larger runs or stocking purposes on job sites.

Key Features

• 93-ohm impedance per RG-62B/U specification
• 1000-foot continuous spool length for longer runs and reduced splices
• RG-62B/U designation ensures compatibility with equipment calling out this specific coax type
• Coaxial construction with center conductor, dielectric core, and shielding braid
• Sold as a single unit (EA, quantity one spool)

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring 93-ohm RG-62B/U coaxial cable, including instrumentation, control, and data communication systems specified for this impedance type.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cable installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC article requirements for communication and signal cables. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating or splicing coaxial cable. Use proper coax stripping tools and compression or crimp connectors rated for RG-62B/U to maintain impedance integrity at termination points. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance.
