What does CATV stand for? “Community antenna television” now often known as “Community access television” We always like to use caution with CATV vs CCTV cables because they are in many ways different.
CATV cables are constructed using Copper Covered Steel “CCS” mainly for strength when consumers push and pull the coax out of TV’s or monitors, next CATV cable use a bonded foil shield and a aluminum braid as to prevent RF leakage which results in fines from the FCC.
Also CATV cable transmit from low to hi frequencies 5Mhz to 3Ghz as compare to CCTV in low current data signals.
