Belden 1694A RG6 Coaxial Cable (Audio/Video interconnect use)
#9 in Cables & Connectors · Rated 4.3
Professional-grade RG6 coax for high‑bandwidth interconnects
Belden 1694A is a long‑standing professional coax offering 75 Ω impedance, oxygen-free copper, and robust shielding. While widely used in broadcast and AV installations, it is also employed by some hi‑fi builders for interconnect paths where bulky coax is appropriate. The bulk format typically ships on spools and is cut to length by installers or cable makers. The 1694A family is known for low loss and broad compatibility with RCA terminators or BNC variants when assembled by skilled technicians. For global pro‑audio and home‑theatre installations, 1694A provides a durable, spec‑driven option for those who want a traceable, repeatable construction with strong shielding.
