Comprehensive Quality 
Control & Testing
To ensure that every reel of 
cable consistently meets all 
specified standards, 
Gepco coax is subjected 
to comprehensive multi-
stage testing and 
measurement. Each 
production reel is tested 
for   impedance, velocity 
of propagation, 
attenuation, structural 
return loss, pull-out, 
critical diameters, cell 
structure, conductor 
centering, and continuity 
at every necessary 
production stage during 
the manufacturing process.
Gas-injected Foam 
Dielectric & Precision-
drawn Conductor
Most Gepco coaxial cables, 
including the High Definition 
series, utilize Gepco’s unique 
nitrogen gas-injected foam 
polyethylene dielectric. This 
processed material provides the 
lowest possible attenuation by 
minimizing high-frequency 
absorption, reducing the diameter, and 
increasing the velocity of propagation. 
Unlike other foam dielectrics, Gepco’s 
dielectric has an extremely uniform cell 
structure, is highly crush-resistant, and has 
superior aging characteristics. These attributes 
greatly extend the performance, life and 
reliability of the cable.
Equally critical, Gepco coax features a precision-
drawn, solid-copper center conductor. This conductor 
type is drawn over multiple stages to reach an exacting 
and consistent diameter devoid of any significant chatter, 
variation or oxidization.
Precision Specifications
To ensure that the impedance, return loss 
and attenuation performance of each 
cable meets or exceeds the published 
specifications and industry standards, all 
Gepco coax is produced to exacting 
standards and within tight tolerances. 
Through this precision and matching, 
degradation and ghosting are minimized 
in analog video signals, while bit-errors 
and jitter are greatly reduced in digital 
data streams.
Gepco coax is produced to either a +/- 3 
or +/- 2 ohm impedance tolerance, 
100% sweep-tested to either 1, 2.4 or 
3GHz, and characterized to specific 
structural-return-loss values. These 
specifications meet, and in many cases 
exceed, industry requirements such as 
those set in the SMPTE 292M and 259M 
standards for High Definition and SDI 
digital video interconnect.
