Why get a coaxial cable quote from Communica
When a project depends on signal integrity - whether CCTV, broadcast RF, satellite installations or lab test leads - selecting the right coaxial cable and accessories is more than a line-item. We prioritise the outcome: available stock across Samrand, Pretoria and Cape Town for immediate pickup, clear VAT invoices for procurement, and expert guidance that avoids common field mistakes. Speed matters: request a quote and we respond with stock-backed pricing and lead-time details so you can plan installs and education lab budgets with confidence.
Specification callouts we include in every quote
- Impedance (50 & 75 ohm) and intended application
- Conductor type (solid vs stranded) and shielding (braid/foil %) for noise rejection
- Attenuation at key frequencies (e.g., 100 MHz, 1 GHz) and velocity factor
- Temperature rating, jacket material (PVC, PE, UV-stable) and cable diameter for conduit routing
- Connector compatibility and suggested crimp or compression fittings
Quick spec comparison
| Type | Impedance | Typical Use | Shielding |
|---|---|---|---|
| RG-58 | 50 ohm | RF test leads, ham radio | Low-moderate braid |
| RG-6 | 75 ohm | Satellite, TV, CCTV | Foil + braid (higher) |
| LMR-400 | 50 ohm | Long runs, low loss RF feed | Dense braid (low loss) |
If you already know your spec, include it in the quote request. If not, tell us the application (e.g., 100 m CCTV run, 3 GHz antenna feed) and we’ll propose optimal matches with attenuation figures and connector options.

Compatibility and accessory bundles
A cable is only as useful as its termination. Quotes include recommended connector types (BNC, N-type, SMA), matching crimp or compression fittings, and suggested tools - crimpers, torque wrenches and test adapters - so installations are sealed and repeatable. We also assemble bundles for common use-cases: CCTV runs with pre-cut RG-6 + BNC crimps + weather boots, or RF patch kits with LMR feed + N-type connectors + attenuation tables.
For procurement teams and campus labs, we provide line-item VAT invoices and can hold stock for scheduled pickup from our Samrand head office or branch collection points; see Branches & Trading Hours coaxial-cable-cape-town for locations and times.
