ZION HD coaxial cable is a 75 ohm copper-conductor family for CATV, television and HD video signal runs. Choose HD40, HD70 or HD80 by cable diameter, attenuation and installation space, then specify PVC, E PVC or LSZH to match the project environment. The three PVC models below provide a consistent starting point for comparing the core cable sizes.
The full series combines HD40, HD70 and HD80 with PVC, E PVC and LSZH jacket options. These three representative PVC products make the size and RF-performance progression easier to compare: HD40 is the most compact, while HD70 and HD80 use larger conductors and show lower published attenuation at 862 MHz.
HD40 · CODE 7100523
0.42 mm copper conductor
3.6 ± 0.15 mm cable diameter
45.1 dB/100 m maximum attenuation at 862 MHz
Consider HD40 when conduit space and a smaller cable profile matter. Confirm the required run length, connector and loss budget before specifying it for the final system.

0.7 ± 0.2 mm copper conductor
4.3 ± 0.15 mm cable diameter
27.8 dB/100 m maximum attenuation at 862 MHz
Consider HD70 when you need a middle size between the compact HD40 and the larger HD80. Check conduit capacity and the calculated attenuation for the intended route.
View Product Details →HD80 · CODE 7100529
0.80 ± 0.20 mm copper conductor
5.0 ± 0.15 mm cable diameter
23.0 dB/100 m maximum attenuation at 862 MHz
Consider HD80 when lower published loss is more important than the smallest cable profile. Verify route length, pathway space and termination hardware in the project design.
View Product Details →Start with the required 75 ohm system and maximum acceptable signal loss, then check the cable pathway and jacket requirement. A larger model can reduce published attenuation, but it also needs more installation space and matching termination hardware.
Use the cable attenuation and actual route length to build a link budget. At 862 MHz, the published PVC values are 45.1 dB/100 m for HD40, 27.8 dB/100 m for HD70 and 23.0 dB/100 m for HD80. Include connectors, splitters and other system losses separately.
HD40 has the smallest published PVC cable diameter at 3.6 ± 0.15 mm, followed by HD70 at 4.3 ± 0.15 mm and HD80 at 5.0 ± 0.15 mm. Check pathway fill, bend radius and pulling conditions rather than choosing by diameter alone.
Match the jacket wording to the installation specification. PVC, E PVC and LSZH are separate product variants in the series; request the exact model and jacket combination rather than treating the names as interchangeable. Confirm the selected variant's data sheet and required compliance documents with the quotation.
Specify the equipment interface and signal format separately. A 75 ohm cable name alone does not confirm connector type, HD-SDI, AHD, HDCVI, HDTVI or another protocol. Ask for a version-specific link-budget and termination review when protocol distance is critical.
Read the table from left to right: all three models are 75 ± 3 Ω, while conductor size, overall diameter and attenuation change. The values apply to the linked PVC product pages; confirm the corresponding data sheet when choosing an E PVC or LSZH version.
These cables fit 75 ohm CATV, television and HD video signal routes when the system design matches the selected cable's loss and termination requirements. They should not be treated as a universal substitute for every coaxial protocol or 50 ohm RF system.
Use the series for 75 ohm CATV routes after calculating frequency-specific cable and component loss. Choose the model by route length, pathway space and the project's jacket wording.
The 75 ohm construction suits television signal infrastructure when matched with compatible equipment and connectors. Do not assume the cable includes factory-fitted connectors; state the termination requirement in the RFQ.
Use the cable only after the required video format, frequency range and maximum distance are checked against the selected model. “HD” is a family name here, not a blanket compatibility statement for every HD video protocol.
If a bill of materials already names HD40, HD70 or HD80, keep the exact model and jacket wording in the inquiry. Ask for the current data sheet and documents required by the project before approving a replacement.
It is a ZION 75 ohm coaxial cable family organized around HD40, HD70 and HD80 for CATV, television and HD video signal routes. The model still needs to be matched to the system's loss, distance, connector and jacket requirements.
The representative PVC versions differ mainly in conductor size, overall cable diameter and published attenuation. HD40 is smaller; HD70 and HD80 are progressively larger and show lower maximum attenuation at 862 MHz on their product pages.
No. A larger model can offer lower listed attenuation, but it also occupies more pathway space. The right choice is the smallest model that satisfies the calculated loss, mechanical and project requirements with suitable margin.
Do not assume protocol support from the HD model name alone. Provide the exact video format, data rate or frequency, route length, equipment and connector so the selected model can be checked against the required loss budget.
Follow the installation specification and applicable project requirements. Request the exact HD model with PVC, E PVC or LSZH, then confirm the version-specific data sheet and any required compliance documents before ordering.
