Aerial Coaxial Cable

Aerial Coaxial Cable

Aerial Coaxial Cable is recommended for rooftop applications, such as between poles and buildings. The galvanized steel messenger wire provides support to avoid sagging. Popular applications for aerial coaxial cable include cable TV (CATV), satellite dish, and roof-top antennas. Aerial coaxial cable with messenger provides the backbone support ensuring the cable isn't strained. This also makes running the cable easier to manage. The messenger wire itself is commonly made of galvanized steel, rather than copper. So it should not be used for grounding as it won't carry a current as well as copper.
