DIPOLNET cables are compliant with Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and EN 50575 harmonized standard that specifies reaction to fire performance requirements, test and assessment methods for cables used for the supply of electricity and for control and communication purposes, which are intended for use in construction works and subject to performance requirements on reaction to fire.
The RG-6 Tri-Shield coaxial cable DIPOLNET E1215 meets the EN50117 standard for shielding (class A+) in the frequency band 5-3000 MHz.
Tri-Shield Coaxial Cable DIPOLNET E1215_500 complies with the requirements of the Regulation of the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy on technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location of November 22, 2012, for the cabling dedicated to TV/SAT systems.
RoHS compliance declaration.
The Regulation in § 192e item 4 specifies the following requirements for coaxial cables in teletechnical systems in buildings of collective residence:

Declaration of performance (.pdf)
Tri-Shield DIPOLNET E1215_500 cable has 77% braid coverage to guarantee high screening efficiency and protect the transmitted signals against interference.
High quality, triple shielded RG6 coaxial cable has an inner conductor made of ++1.13 mm diameter copper wire+++, which ensures very low insertion loss. The core dose not corrode, and the cable is not stiff.
The cable is manufactured under strict quality standards, with tight tolerances. Optimum flexibility of the sheath allows for easy cable installation in shafts, as well as installation or junction boxes.
In order to secure the minimum bend radius, flush mounted installations should be done with the use of protective conduits.
In the case of parallel arrangement of many cables and long cable runs it is recommended to use cables of TRISET***www.dipolnet.com/7095.htm*** series. Effective screening over long distances eliminates the probability of cable crosstalk. It consists in induction of unwanted signals in neighboring cables. It is manifested on the screen by image interference: pixelosis and freezing of scenes as it occurs in the case of a weak or low quality signal.
