Flexible coaxial cables bend around components and through tight spaces more easily, helping installers route connections neatly in racks and between AV equipment and displays. Slim jackets and low-profile connectors can reduce bulk, simplify tight turns, and support cleaner back-of-rack cable management.

Preterminated flexible coaxial cables come with connectors already attached, allowing installers to connect digital AV equipment without terminating the cable on-site. Field-terminable flexible coaxial cables arrive as bulk cable that can be cut to length and fitted with compatible connectors using a cut, twist-on, and set-screw process, which can help with custom rack layouts and long cable runs.

When selecting flexible coaxial cables, consider the conductor size for the performance requirements of the digital signal and cable run, with available options including solid copper conductors from 20 AWG to 24 AWG. Two layers of shielding help limit electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, while ultra-flexible jackets, slim profiles, and low-profile connectors support cleaner wire management through tight spaces and around racks.

For equipment-to-display connections, choose a preterminated flexible coaxial cable in a length that follows the route with modest service slack, such as one or two meters, and use low-profile connectors for tight spaces behind equipment. For back-of-rack installations or longer runs, consider bulk coaxial cable cut to the required length, with shallow terminations that help keep rack wiring neat and manageable.
