About This Assembly
Specs Summary
RG178 Cable
RG-178 is an extremely thin 50-ohm coaxial cable measuring just 1.75mm in diameter, designed for space-constrained RF assemblies. Its PTFE dielectric and silver-plated conductors deliver reliable performance from DC up to several GHz. Commonly used for internal wiring in test equipment, medical devices, and cellular module pigtails.
DVB-T / PAL Connector
The PAL connector (also called IEC 169-2 or Belling-Lee) is the standard RF antenna connector used for terrestrial and cable television in Europe, Australia, and many other regions. Its simple push-in design mates with the coaxial socket found on virtually every TV, DVB-T tuner, and set-top box sold outside North America.
F Connector
The F connector is a low-cost threaded coaxial connector used almost exclusively in cable TV, satellite, and over-the-air broadcast applications. It uses the center conductor of RG-6 or RG-59 cable as the pin, which simplifies termination and reduces cost. F connectors are found on cable modems, satellite receivers, TV tuners, and distribution amplifiers.
Common Applications
This DVB-T / PAL and F cable assembly is well suited for ultra-compact internal wiring in test equipment and small wireless modules. The combination of reliable DVB-T / PAL and F connectors and custom-cut cable length makes it a practical choice for both field installations and bench setups. Every assembly is hand-terminated, continuity tested, and ships free within the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is RG178 coaxial cable used for?
RG-178 is an extremely thin 50-ohm coaxial cable measuring just 1.75mm in diameter, designed for space-constrained RF assemblies. Its PTFE dielectric and silver-plated conductors deliver reliable performance from DC up to several GHz. Commonly used for internal wiring in test equipment, medical devices, and cellular module pigtails.
What is the signal loss of RG178?
At 1800 MHz, RG178 has approximately 35 dB of loss per 100 ft (0.35 dB/ft).
What frequency range does this assembly support?
This assembly is rated DC – 2 GHz, limited by the lowest-rated component across the cable and connectors.
What is a DVB-T / PAL connector?
The PAL connector (also called IEC 169-2 or Belling-Lee) is the standard RF antenna connector used for terrestrial and cable television in Europe, Australia, and many other regions.
