RG6 RG11 RG59 Coax Cable with Steel Messenger for Outdoor CCTV Remote Installations
Coax Cable with Steel Messenger Advantage
It is a standard coaxial cable (like RG-6) that is permanently attached to a steel messenger wire, Coaxial Cable: The inner part that carries the RF signal (TV, internet, data).
Messenger Wire: A high-strength, galvanized steel wire that provides all the mechanical support.
1. Superior Strength and Support:
The steel messenger wire bears the entire weight of the cable span and withstands environmental stresses like wind, ice loading, and temperature changes.
This prevents the coaxial cable itself from stretching or sagging, which would damage its delicate internal geometry and degrade signal quality.
2. Simplified and Safer Aerial Installation:
Installers only need to attach one item to poles or walls: the pre-assembled cable/messenger unit.
The messenger wire is the part that is clamped, lashed, or attached to hooks. This is much safer and easier than trying to support a regular coaxial cable on its own, which is not designed for tensile strength.
It eliminates the need for a separate lashing wire to tie around a loose cable.
3. Built-in Lightning Protection (in some designs):
The steel messenger wire is often connected to a ground wire or is itself grounded at the pole.
It can act as a lightning attractor and path to ground, helping to protect the coaxial cable and the sensitive electronics inside the connected buildings from voltage surges. The coaxial cable's outer braid provides a secondary shield.
4. Long Span Capability:
This construction allows for longer unsupported spans between poles (e.g., 150 ft+ depending on cable type and local code) compared to coaxial cable alone.
5. Professional, Neat Appearance:
Feature | Coaxial Cable WITH Messenger | Standard Coaxial Cable WITHOUT Messenger |
|---|
Aerial Use | Primary design purpose. | Not recommended; requires separate lashing. |
Support | Integrated steel wire. | No inherent support; jacket bears all stress. |
Installation | Fast, single-component clamping. | More complex, requires separate support wire. |
Durability | High. Resists sag, wind, ice. | Low for aerial use; prone to stretch and sag. |
Cost | Higher material cost, lower labor cost. | Lower material cost, much higher aerial labor cost. |
Best For | Outdoor, pole-to-pole, pole-to-building. | Indoor use, underground conduit, short outdoor walls. |
Coax Cable with Steel Messenger Application
1. Telecommunications & Broadband
Last-Mile Cable TV (CATV) & Internet Drops: The classic 'drop cable' from a utility pole to a subscriber's house. The messenger allows the cable company to quickly and securely attach the line to poles and the side of the building.
Trunk and Feeder Lines: For longer runs along roadways or between community nodes, especially in areas where burying cable is impractical or too expensive.
Fiber Optic Support (Overlash): Sometimes, lighter fiber optic cables are lashed directly to an existing, strong coaxial messenger cable to avoid installing new poles.
2. Security & Surveillance Systems
Connecting Outdoor Security Cameras: Running cable between buildings, across parking lots, or along perimeter fences. The messenger handles the tension, and the integrated design makes installation faster and more reliable than trying to support a standard cable.
Campus or Industrial Site Monitoring: For large areas with multiple buildings where aerial runs are the most efficient way to connect a centralized monitoring system.
3. Audio/Video & Broadcast
Master Antenna Television (MATV) & Satellite Distribution: In apartment complexes, hotels, schools, or hospitals, a central antenna or satellite dish distributes signals to many units via aerial cables strung between buildings.
Temporary Event Broadcasts: For sports events, concerts, or news reporting, messenger cable can be quickly deployed on temporary poles or structures to provide robust camera and data links that won't sag or fail in the wind.
4. Industrial & Infrastructure
Traffic Management Systems: Connecting traffic cameras, sensors, and signal controllers over roadways.
Rail & Transportation: Communication and monitoring along railway lines.
Remote Data Links: For connecting outbuildings, wells, or monitoring equipment in agricultural, mining, or utility settings.
