Corrosion-resistant, highly flexible 50-Ohm RG174TC tinned copper coaxial cable certified by ISO9001, CE, and RoHS. Engineered by Zhenjiang Worldpeak with a 2.60 mm profile, a 7-strand tinned copper core, and a protective tinned braid, it offers long-term signal stability and superior moisture resistance for GPS, automotive, and IoT applications.
The Worldpeak RG174TC is an ultra-compact, highly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable engineered by Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. for dense, space-constrained RF assemblies. With an outer diameter of only 2.60 mm, this high-durability ultra-thin RF cable features a 7-strand concentric stranded tinned copper center conductor. It offers a reliable alternative to standard copper alternatives in moist deployment areas. As a specialized tinned copper coaxial cable, the RG174TC coaxial cable optimizes routing density and durability for short-run interconnects (under 2 meters), ensuring superior corrosion protection and long-term signal stability.
The Worldpeak RG174TC represents a vital engineering solution for modern micro-electronics routing. Designed as a highly flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable, it features a stranded conductor comprising 7 strands of 0.16 mm tinned copper wire. This configuration gives this ultra-thin RF cable its outstanding bend compliance and mechanical survivability.
Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. extrudes a solid polyethylene (PE) dielectric over the conductor to a precise 1.52 mm outer diameter. Maintaining dimensional uniformity at this scale is critical; a variation of just 0.1 mm will alter nominal impedance, resulting in unwanted return loss. To guarantee performance, Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. implements online laser diameter monitoring to hold a strict dielectric tolerance of ±0.04 mm.
As a high-performance tinned copper coaxial cable, the RG174TC coaxial cable features a single tinned copper braid shield that delivers excellent grounding and electromagnetic shielding. The tin plating provides galvanic protection. In humid or marine environments, standard bare copper braids form resistive copper oxide at contact points, degrading shielding performance over time. This tinned shield design eliminates this failure mode, making the cable a reliable choice for long-term B2B deployments.
Compact 2.60 mm Profile: This ultra-thin RF cable fits effortlessly inside tight electronic enclosures, maximizing routing density.
Exceptional Flexibility: The 7-strand tinned copper conductor allows for tight routing bends without suffering from metal fatigue.
Corrosion-Resistant Shielding: The specialized tinned copper braid prevents oxidation, ensuring stable shielding effectiveness.
Strict Impedance Control: Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. maintains a consistent 50 ± 3 Ω impedance profile across the entire spool.
B2B Certification Standard: Manufactured in compliance with CE, RoHS, FCC, and UL94 flammability ratings.

When designing a system, selecting the right RG174TC coaxial cable requires evaluating key performance trade-offs:
VS. RG316: RG316 features a PTFE dielectric that extends thermal operations up to +200°C. For standard applications under +75°C, the PE dielectric of the Worldpeak RG174TC represents a more cost-effective choice.
VS. RG58: RG58 offers 40% lower signal attenuation but occupies four times the physical space. Use RG58 for longer runs, and use this ultra-thin RF cable for internal cabinet assemblies.
VS. RG178: At 1.8 mm, RG178 is thinner but features a fragile solid conductor. The stranded conductor of this flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable provides superior vibration protection and survival.
GPS & GNSS Modules: Perfect for internal pigtails routing signals from passive antennas to receivers in compact vehicle trackers.
IoT & Telemetry Nodes: Ideal for space-constrained M2M communication housings where larger RF cables cannot physical fit.
Automotive Infotainment: Used to route compact signals through tight headliners and structural vehicle pillars.
Handheld Radio Accessories: Provides durable, flexible connections for hand-held speaker mics and test equipment.
Stripping Calibration: The 0.52 mm dielectric wall requires precisely calibrated automated strip tooling. Nicking the PE core can lead to propagation cracks when this flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable is bent during installation.
Crimp Die Matching: Because tinned copper strands are malleable, use crimp dies specifically rated for stranded tinned copper coaxial cable wire rather than solid core tooling to prevent over-extrusion.
Insertion Loss Budgets: Ensure you calculate attenuation for high-frequency runs. A 2-meter run of this RG174TC coaxial cable at 400 MHz results in roughly 1.1 dB of attenuation.

Q: What is the main benefit of a tinned copper coaxial cable over bare copper?
A: Tin plating protects the conductor from atmospheric corrosion and oxidation, which is essential for deployments in humid climates or industrial facilities.
Q: Can this flexible 50-ohm coaxial cable be used for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi antenna extensions?
A: Only for short lengths under 1.5 meters. At 2.4 GHz, the high attenuation of the RG174TC coaxial cable will result in noticeable signal loss over longer distances.
Q: Does Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. provide custom outer jackets?
A: Yes. Zhenjiang Worldpeak Communication Co., Ltd. can supply custom outer jacket colors with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 5000 meters.
